Gisela Castaneda
In 2004, Giselas’ passion for design, art, and fashion brought her to New York City, were she was able to refine her sewing and pattern making skills. New York's myriad of clothing styles, from urban to glamorous, is what Gisela choose to be her next backdrop. Her Punk style of rebelliousness through colors and hues had now been joined by a more sophisticated design pallet. Now in 2008, the art scene, galleries, Gay Pride parades, and urban vintage style that comprise San Francisco's Bay Area street life, give Gisela insight and inspiration to continue to create fashion for a label any person would love to wear, and wear with pride.
