Renata: I came to this country as an Ukrainian immigrant over 20 years ago. When I saw how Americans dressed, I was shocked because people did not care about their appearance. I opened my clothing store almost six years ago in Brighton Beach to bring Ukrainian style to Americans.

Renata: The Americans that come into my store have been inspired by the fit of my clothing. The baggy t-shirts and oversized jeans have no place in a European wardrobe. Skirts or shorts should never be too short and pants should never be reaching the floor while shirts need to hug the body. The way the clothing fits the body is the most important part of dressing up for Ukrainian women.
