TINKER'S TOY FACTORY

Tinker's Toy Factory is a Cedar Fair Production in cooperation with Haut-Vol Productions. As one of the wardrobe supervisors I lead the team in the building, altering, and repairs of all costumes in the show. All original designs are by Cedar Fair, and we created updated looks that could function in a Haut-Vol cirque show and best serve each performer to their act.

TUNDRA: A CIRQUE EXPERIENCE

Tundra: A Cirque Experience is a Haut-Vol Production, incorporating high flying acrobatics, contortionists, pole vaulters, unicycling, juggling, and BMX biking. As wardrobe supervisor I lead and performed alterations, repairs, and laundered pre existing costumes for the show.

HOLLY JOLLY TROLLEY

Holly Jolly Trolley is a Cedar Fair designed show featuring paired dance routines and classic Christmas hits. All costumes were built by Canada's Wonderland and as wardrobe supervisor I lead and performed pattern manipulation, grading, cutting, construction, alterations, and repairs of the costumes. The women wore cotton twill capes, vests, and circle skirts with decorative twill tape and cotton blouse. The men wore a cotton twill jacket and pants with decorative twill tape and a lined vest and cotton dress shirt.

THE MISTLETONES

This trio performed retro Christmas classics with a 1950's flare and were dressed in costumes to help set the tone. Designed by Cedar Fair and constructed by the Canada's Wonderland wardrobe team, these costumes were a favourite. As one of the wardrobe supervisors I aided in the cutting, construction, alterations, and repairs of the costumes. The jackets are fully lined with hidden zipper closure and the skirts are a classic sequin circle skirt.

JINGLE JAZZ

Jingle Jazz is an a capella singing group bringing you Christmas pop classics. All costumes are designed by Cedar Fair and created by the Canada's Wonderland wardrobe team. As one of the wardrobe supervisors I oversaw and completed the construction, alterations, and repairs of the costumes. The women are wearing brocade skirts and fully lined sequin jackets with fur trim. The men are wearing a velvet tail coat with fur collar and cuffs, a sequin vest, and dress shirt and pants.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

Ora Donna is a collection inspired by a narrative and told through eveningwear. The narrative that inspired the collection is the original The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson. The Little Mermaid tells the story of a young mermaid who finds a Prince and saves his life. In the end, unlike the Disney tale, the Prince falls for the princess and the little mermaid turns to sea foam. Hans Christian Anderson wrote this story and sent it to a man he was in love with as a love letter. The photoshoot, runway, and styling took inspiration from this sad tale in multiple ways.

AMFI COLLECTION

The Nineties Nostalgia collection takes note of youth culture and pop culture during the 1990s and identifies its relation to fashion today. The collection borrows the bold colours and silhouettes made popular during this time. The prints were all made by hand using screenprinting and stamping. All fabrics are up cycled from either pre existing garments or unwanted fabrics.

EVENING WEAR COLLECTION

Evening wear collection inspired by the Rococo Period. The soft whimsical colours are commonly used in Rococo paintings, furniture, and fashion. The silhouette of the gown resembles the fashion of that time period in a modern context. The dress was created using the finest materials such as alencon lace, silk, and crepe back satin. The preliminary design was draped then drafted from the drape to fit the model perfectly. The crinoline cage was completely hand made and bound in silk. The lace was delicately shaped around the curves of the bodice through embroidery techniques. This gown is appropriate for a high fashion event or costume purposes.

COORDINATED SEPERATES

The collection was inspired by the shapes of roses, rose petals and vines as well as 1930’s women’s pant suits. The digital print pattern for the silk charmeuse top was created digitally and then printed onto fabric. The pattern was created using images taken at the Botanical Gardens while seeking inspiration. The jacket is 100% wool and half lined with bias binding throughout. The high waisted drop crotch trousers take inspiration from 1930's women's pant suit silhouettes whereas the jacket silhouette was inspired by roses. This look is for the young business woman looking for statement pieces.

DRAPED ORIGAMI

Plaid dress draped completely using one piece of material for each colour. Inspired by origami folding techniques as well as an updated take on the classic school girl plaid pleated skirt. The draping process was very experimental with multiple trials to achieve the desired effect. The pleats and plaid checks blend seamlessly into the next panel before changing to the contrasting colour. The juxtaposition of colours and lengths was inspired by school uniforms and their individual styling. This look was created with a student studying during the fall aesthetic in mind.
