Thank you all very much for the congratulations on my Kambriel designs being worn by Neil Gaiman (author of the Academy Award nominated feature film "Coraline") on the Oscars red carpet!

Serious inquiries only. I frequently travel, so you never know when I might be in your neck of the woods... Occasionally I am willing to model my own designs (that's me in the avatar photo) for photographers whose work I find particularly intriguing.
Photographers with a vision, models with looks ranging from ethereal to dramatic, and hair/mua's with the talent to transform, feel welcome to get in touch.
Before sending a friend request, please first consider if your personal style/aesthetic would complement that of my designs.

Fantastical Designs for Femme Fatales and Decadent Gentlemen ~ since 1994.
Kambriel's designs were personally selected by Dr. Valerie Steele for inclusion in the "Gothic: Dark Glamour" exhibit at the Museum at FIT in NYC (
http://www3.fitnyc.edu/museum/gothic/Kambriel.html). Along with photos of her designs which appeared in the book, Kambriel was interviewed by Valerie Steele for the "Gothic: Dark Glamour" book of the same name which is available on Amazon, or at your local bookseller. Kambriel's Midnight Bustle design was used to promote the exhibit opening for Fall Fashion Week in NYC in "Time Out New York" for their "Own This City" highlight, while the Isabella Coatdress ~ frequently used to promote the exhibit, has appeared in Elle Magazine, and other publications around the world, from Russia to Brazil...
In 2005, I was named Gothic Beauty "Designer of the Year". I was also the costume designer for a major Edward Gorey inspired theatrical dance performance for the Boston Celebrity Series which went on to tour in Tokyo, Japan and St, Petersburg, Russia, as well as Oscar Wilde's "Salome", and my designs were used to lend a macabre, yet elegant atmosphere for the Animal Rescue League of Boston's first ever "Moonlight Ball" charity event.
I have created custom designs for a wide range of clients throughout the years, ranging from comedienne Margaret Cho to grand dame of the punk cabaret Amanda Palmer, along with Information Society, Evelyn Evelyn, Neil Gaiman and a variety of bands including Faith and the Muse whom I have been honoured to outfit for their stage performances and various photo shoots for more than a decade.
My theatrical fashion show vignettes have been performed across the country from Salem, Massachusetts (where my show was filmed by the Discovery Channel for a tv Halloween special), to New York City, Tampa, Portland, and Chicago just to name a few!
I have a wide range of designs available on my online catalogue at
http://www.Kambriel.com and welcome customized requests that help bring an inspired vision to life.

A CAVEAT ON CREDITS:
There is a difference between a model/photographer wearing or shooting my designs simply because they at some point wore them (either by personally owning a piece/were chosen by a third party to be in a collective show) or if they attended and took photos at one of my fashion shows as an audience member could, and someone who I have actually personally selected to model/photograph my work.
Unless the model/photographer is featured on the Kambriel website (
http://www.Kambriel.com) or portfolio, feel free to contact us first in order to see what/if any capacity we've actually worked with them.
