ABOUT THE DESIGNER
My name is Desirée Beduz, and I’m a stylist and costume designer with a passion for creating bold, unique designs. Originally from Italy, I studied fashion design and styling at Moodart Fashion School and I.P.S.I.A. Lino Zanussi Fashion School. Over the years, I’ve worked on a variety of projects, including the Toronto Carnival and Milan Fashion Week, gaining experience in costume design, styling, and wardrobe management. I love combining natural elements with theatrical touches to create designs that are both creative and practical. Whether it’s for theater, fashion shows, or editorial shoots, I enjoy bringing ideas to life and working with others to make something truly special.Now based in Toronto, I’m excited to keep exploring new ideas and pushing my creative limits. For me, designing isn’t just about making clothes—it’s about telling stories, celebrating individuality, and inspiring connection through art.

The Golden Hive
The "Golden Hive" collection is an avant-garde celebration of unity and collective movement. Inspired by the architectural brilliance of honeycombs and the synchronized dance of bees, each costume tells a story of collaboration and connection. This collection challenges audiences to reflect on the power of community and the strength found in shared purpose. Blending intricate natural patterns with the resilience of human collaboration, "Golden Hive" is more than fashion—it’s a call to action. It urges us to embrace interconnectedness, celebrate collective achievements, and move forward as one, creating something greater together than we could alone.
