Claudia Da Ponte knew from a young age that fashion was her passion. After being inspired by a Coco Chanel book, she attended the Vancouver Art Institute for Fashion Design and Merchandising and went on to graduate from Blanche Macdonald with a diploma in Fashion Merchandising. However, she believes that you are born with a sense of style and that it is something that cannot be taught. Rick Alyea's “That One Night” served as Da Ponte’s first feature film as costume designer. She has worked on various photo shoots, short films, fashion shows, print ads and theatre productions. She specializes in fashion editorial, commercial print, event coordination, and theatre/film work.
NO TFP.
Thank you for your time!

"There is no such thing as unconscious dressing." - Diana Vreeland Thank you so much to all of the amazing and talented people that I have had the pleasure to work with thus far!
