about the designer

Sydney Maresca's background in costume design brings a sense of fun and theatricality to her work. Her fashions have been featured in the New York Post, New York Magazine, City Magazine, YM, and Zinc. Sydney has been designing for downtown theater, dance, film and musicians since 1998 and launched her eponymous label in 2002. Last spring she was chosen to be one of 4 designers to spend a term running NYC's first fashion incubator Forward, on the Lower East Side.

Sydney has also received international attention for her two-girl ukulele band The Hazzards. The video for their song "Gay Boyfriend" has been downloaded well over one million times, and their single was released in the UK this fall by hit-maker Mike Stock's label Better the Devil Records. The Hazzards have been featured in The Sun, Metro, MTV-UK, Time Out NY, The Advocate, Next (on the cover the 1st week of February), and elsewhere. They'll be seen with Allan Cumming and Scott Thompson on Comedy Central's hour-long special "Out on the Edge" (airing February 2nd @ 10pm).
