Canada’s Drag Race Season 4
Queen/ Artist: Denim
November 2023
Costume Design by: Erika Parra

 

Costume design collaboration with artist Denim for one of her look on Canada’s Drag Race Season 2 presented on December 2021.

This outfit was inspired in a showgirl/Jester with a Drag Twist. The Corset was created by adding three different sequin fabrics with quilting techniques to create the unique colour pattern and shape. It was later draped onto the base corset with boning all around and decorated with meters of white sequin trims all sewn by hand and finished with a satin bias detail.

The Skirt was made out of Organza and glitter tulle mimicking a feathery bustle shape. A collar and pasties were also create with this look with matching colors and fabrics as well as an Organza ruffled boa and ruffled gloves.

The finishing touch was a Jester inspired Headpiece, all custom made with EVA foam, satin fabric and sequin fabrics with tassels and a swarovski crystal drop at the forehead,
