Halyna Hostetler was born in a small village in Ukraine near the Carpathian Mountains. From the very childhood she learned traditional hand embroidery, different embroidery techniques and methods from her mother and grandmothers. Although she got a doctor degree in the medical field she continued to enhance her embroidery skills. While living in Ukraine, she participated at several events that displayed her personal work. Her work is in private collections in Ukraine, USA, Australia, Germany, Italy, Czech and Poland. She moved to the USA in late 2003, where she soon became happily married. Pursing her dreams, she started her first company, Halyna’s Embroidery, in San Jose. After 6 years, Halyna decided to start the Zelenco fashion line with her first collection, “Mothers Inspiration” in memory of her mother.

Nick Chagniot designs
With the modern working man in mind, Nick Chagniot designs pieces that combine classic workwear with relaxed sportswear to create a fresh, yet refined look. Blending fit and function with the finest materials and quality construction, Chagniot redefines the relaxed, effortless style made famous by his hometown, San Francisco. With sharp, minimal silhouettes and attention to minute details, his looks are wearable in an everyday context. Dressed up or down, his pieces exemplify the versatility every man needs. In his opening collection, Chagniot blends influences from modern workwear with vintage 90’s athletic wear. Drawing inspiration from classic basketball movies, he aims to refine the raw styles found on the courts, into a familiar, yet contemporary perspective on menswear.

SPECIAL GUEST
McMacular LLC is a Bay Area denim company made for men to enjoy San Francisco’s cold summers by lining their denim entirely with Mulberry Silk. McMacular was started because there wasn’t a pair of men’s pants that intertwined both style and comfort. If you were feeling cold, your options were to either wear thick flannel lined pants, to bare the cold in your designer denim, or to layer your legs with long johns. All of which are not ideal.
