Anastasia is an American designer, creating a heritage level Collection one year at a time. Chicago-based fashion designer Anastasia Chatzka was born and raised in Detroit. Those early years spent exploring the expansive Detroit music & art scene helped shape the womenswear designer she is today. Rich colors/prints and textures are woven into the DNA that is recognizably an Anastasia garment. She is most known for her fun flirty dresses and separates – coining the term #soanastasia.

After college and honing her skills with designers like Betsey Johnson & Anna Sui Anastasia decided that it was time to start her own clothing line called: Anastasia. The Anastasia brand consists of fun, feminine, and cutting edge ready-to-wear and custom made designs. Anastasia is truly a lifestyle brand; her collections encompass everything from ball gowns to intimates.

A primary focus of the brand is domestic manufacturing – Made in America. The Collections are currently produced in Chicago with the finest artisans with more then 30 years of cutting & sewing experience. The Anastasia Collection(s) are designed and constructed to endure season after season of enjoyment.

Anastasia has her eponymous boutique in Chicago. Her Atelier is located in Ukrainian Village housed within her boutique. Anastasia is testing new markets and searching for the next best location to open up additional Anastasia boutique. Pop-Up shops are planned for LA & NYC, and the brand is constantly expanding with long-term plans to have a location in Tokyo & Paris in the next 5 years.

What you didn’t know but want to know: How did Anastasia get into fashion? The questions most asked – The Beatles. Anastasia wanted a pair of bellbottoms and could not find them in the 90’s. So naturally she made a pair. Her mother took her to the fabric store, showed her how to set up the sewing machines, and she was on her way to discovering the art of fashion.

Anastasia loves music! If she was not going to be a designer she wanted to be a leading women in the rock n roll music industry. A few of her muses are Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna and Courtney Love.

The support of local Detroit music venues actually helped give Anastasia her fashion retail experience. Creating garments all week, then setting up racks of clothes at punk rock shows in Detroit and selling to the concertgoers.

Anastasia has a diverse background from college in fine art, textiles, business and fashion.

Hobbyist is Holly Prindle who sings and Marc Mozga who plays guitar, drum machines, drone machines, bass and melodica. Hobbyist was formed in 2013 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The release of their self- titled debut album came that same year, along with the EP “Hobbyist in Dub”- featuring reggae bass master Dennis Bovell.

After playing numerous rock shows in their hometown of Chicago Holly went to live and sing in Goleniow, Poland with the experimental theatre group Teatr Brama, who specialize in community art and ancient pagan folk singing. Concurrently, Marc embedded himself for 3 years with a suburban Chicago family to film them raise their autistic son. The result was “Getting To First Grade”- an observational documentary produced, shot and edited by Marc which was completed in 2015.

The duo went on a short tour of the Northwest USA and Vancouver in late 2015. On a rainy night in Vancouver Marc proposed marriage to Holly and she accepted. The trip also led to a fruitful live to tape recording of the song “2244” at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington by Paul Krogh. In 2016 the song was released as a lathe cut 7” picture disc with all proceeds benefiting the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women’s Network. Early that same year Holly and Marc were wed in the lookout tower of a bridge house along the Chicago River.

In the month of January 2017 Hobbyist took up residence in Barcelona, Spain to work on material for a new album. Barcelona in the off season proved a surreal vantage point for Hobbyist to take in news from back home: A germaphobe ex- reality TV star was now president! These experiences inform their new album “Sonic Cramps” recorded at Pallet Sound, Chicago.
