About Kambriel

"Being true to yourself is more of an internal quest, but everthing that is buried deep inside rises to the surface eventually—the reflection of your inner-self onto your outer-self. Clothing that brings you a little closer to your dreams." —Kambriel

Kambriel's design work has been featured in the New York Times, and she was personally invited by curator Dr. Valerie Steele as one of the designers to be interviewed for and featured in the highly lauded "Gothic: Dark Glamour" fashion exhibit at the Museum at FIT in NYC. For "Gothic: Dark Glamour", Kambriel's designs were displayed in a special collection alongside those of Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, John Paul Gaultier, and a veritable who's who of creative luminaries of the fashion world. Kambriel's designs were also selected to promote the exhibit opening for Fall Fashion Week in NYC in Time Out New York's "Own This City", as well in the Museum at FIT exhibit brochure, worldwide editions of the "Gothic: Dark Glamour" book, Elle Magazine, The Globe & Mail (Canada), and other national & international publications.

Kambriel was awarded AltFashion (UK) "International Designer of the Year" & Gothic Beauty (USA) "Designer of the Year". Her work has graced the covers of European magazines such as ELEGY in France, and Kambriel was selected as costume designer for a major Edward Gorey inspired dance production for the Boston Celebrity Series which went on to tour overseas. Kambriel's designs have also been featured in a theatrical performance of Oscar Wilde's "Salomé", and for the Animal Rescue League of Boston's inaugural "Moonlight Ball" charity event.

Kambriel has created custom designs for a range of clients, ranging from comedienne Margaret Cho to punk cabaret chanteuse Amanda Palmer, Information Society, Faith & the Muse, and many other creative individuals around the world.

When friend & fellow designer Laura Purdy of The Pale Court died, Kambriel offered to complete Laura's unfinished work. She spent a year sorting, puzzling together and finishing them all, then photographed the collection in the Cornish countryside (a place Laura longed to go) for a fashion editorial, as well as coordinated a tribute fashion show in New Orleans.

Kambriel's signature theatrical fashion show vignettes have been performed across the country from Salem, MA (where Kambriel's show was filmed by the Discovery Channel), to NYC, Toronto, Tampa, Portland, Seattle, Cambridge & Boston, Chicago, and more.

Kambriel's designs are described as being "too beautiful for the red carpet, there needs to be some kind of ethereal gold and silver carpet that shifts colors at will."
