Bringing Designs to Life

From opera houses to drag stages, I build costumes that tell a story. I think of costuming as the original and fashion as the beautiful echo. Fashion takes one idea and makes it wearable for the world. I take one performer and make something that could only ever belong to them, fit to their body, written into their character, built to live for the length of a performance and never quite be repeated.

Opera, theatre, film, dance, and drag. A look at the costumes and the stages they've lived on.

Alice Victoria

A lifetime of sewing intricate, imaginative costumes taught me how to lead. Today I guide talented costume makers and designers to create everything from opera costumes to drag looks, across historical and fantasy design, with every piece built to tell a story and fit its performer exactly.

My career began at the San Francisco Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, on productions I'll never forget. When I moved to Vancouver Island to raise my family, I joined Pacific Opera Victoria, and between operas I've worked across theatre, film, television, and dance. I've designed a fashion line for a yoga studio, drafted custom digital patterns, and designed my own fabric.
