Toronto Outdoor Art  Exhibition at Nathan Phillips Square

July 11, 12th & 13th.

Little stories told with threads & beads

Though only about twelve inches high, these bits of fantastical clothing are full of hand crafted elements that Ann learned from her grandmothers and aunts as well as from the world-class seamstresses, tailors and breakdown artists that she has worked with at the Canadian Opera Company and feature film productions.

Ann has an eye for detail and colour and just as she has always been drawn to movie projects that emphasize the development of character – so too are these “garments” indeed characters in their own right.

Her whimsical sense of humour and joyful delight in beautiful handcrafted objects are evident in her art, which is truly meant to bring a smile along with a better appreciation of the meaning of  “getting dressed”!

Premiere • Los Angeles

Renee, pictured here with Louis Leterrier (Director) and Amanda Kirchoff (Director's assistant) says:

"It was an honor to be invited by Louis to the premiere in L.A.  

The Hulk was a big opportunity for me so it was nice to be able to share this moment with Louis.  We all worked so hard on this project and Louis was very appreciative and grateful.  I just hope that I will have more opportunities like this in the future because this one was the perfect HULK SMASH!"

CAFTCAD General Meeting

On June 3rd we held our General Meeting at Toronto Film Studios, Toronto.

It was inspiring to see a room of costume people, from all sectors of our industry together, engaged and interested in our various initiatives.

Besides various individuals, there was  a strong showing from most of the Rental houses in the city, including Juul Haalmeyer from Homemade Tarts, Olivier Normand  @ Tribe Trading Co., Ken McGuire from Liberty, Caitlin Webster @ The Wearhouse and Tarah Burke from Apres Wrap. Also present was Bridget Faroo from 'Wotever., 

All in all there was a real positive mood towards the Alliance.

Thanks to all that made it out and stay tuned, we're just getting started.
