“Designer Danielle Mason Hosker, who counts accomplished dancer and choreographer among her pursuits, designs with a natural musicality and a sharp eye for beautiful movement. The result is a collection that sings with melody and motion — dresses and spaces that radiate grace, glamour and a scintillating kinetic energy.”

In 2013 after successfully growing her first business (Dancefx, Inc.) to an award-winning, 7-figure arts corporation spanning 2 states and 3 locations, Danielle Mason Hosker officially began to expand her attention to her other great love—design. Recognizing a need in the luxury linen marketplace and need for domestic manufactured goods in the bedding industry, she launched Antage Bleu followed by Baby Bleu, quickly gaining the attention of Codarus, Neiman Marcus, Southern Living Magazine, Victoria Magazine, BRIXY, Bratt Decor and Buy Buy Baby.
It was while sourcing apparel weight goods for her baby line that Hosker found herself repeatedly waking in the middle of the night, designing dresses in her head. Driven to see it through, Hosker designed a demo dress line, worked with a pattern maker and sample maker, shot a lookbook, packed her car with dress samples and set off to Raleigh, NC to get the feedback she would need from respected buyers to either move forward or get back to work on her interiors company.
The chance meeting and feedback she received from the buyer in Raleigh on Friday propelled her to fly to DC and get in front of legendary buyer La Shae of Saks Jandel on Monday who put her in front of showroom owner Jodi Sandman in NYC on Tuesday where she was signed. These three women in three days forever changed her life and Mason Hosker was born in 2015, a perfect juxtaposition of all her worlds combined—the arts, design and a family lineage in the textile industry that capsulated into a women’s designer label known for its decadent fabrication, impeccable construction and fit, and an aesthetic laden with beautiful movement and balletic strength and grace. Her first season saw Mason Hosker picked up by industry giant Rent The Runway and iconic Saks Jandel, Julian Gold, and Joe Brand where it would find itself hanging alongside established designer fashion houses including Oscar de la Renta, Celine, Valentino, Lela Rose and Self Portrait from the Hamptons to Palm Beach and Houston to Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico.
In addition to receiving rave customer reviews, Mason Hosker has been worn on the red carpet by award-winning actresses and loved by well-known American sweethearts.
In January 2017, Mason Hosker opened its first brand store in Charleston, SC—ranked #1 City in the US by Conde Nast Traveler—debuted its first full runway show at Charleston Fashion Week with Fern Mallis in March 2017 and launched its first bridal collection in April 2017 at New York Fashion Week Bridal. The bridal and bespoke collection garnered national media attention, including Martha Stewart Weddings, and found itself consistently ranked and placed alongside longstanding design houses like Reem Acra, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and Vera Wang.
In 2018 Mason Hosker again attracted the attention of three prominent industry giants culminating in an exclusive licensing deal. Pivoting the business, Mason Hosker embarked on a new international adventure.
In 2020, Danielle Mason Hosker stepped away from the fashion industry to be more present with her family and support her son as he pursued his dreams. During this time, Danielle turned her attention back to interiors and real estate investing, successfully buying, designing, renovating and selling multiple luxury properties across Charleston, SC and Naples, FL.
While Danielle’s eye for design, aesthetic and craftsmanship lives on in her storied interiors and womenswear, her pursuit of a beautiful and authentic life continues with a new journey in design in 2025 with the launch of Mason Hosker Home.
