Glitter Prince Designs was formed when a performer and a costume designer joined forces to create inspired designs for the spotlight. Whether you are wanting to shine onstage, glitter at a special event, or goof off at home, our purpose is to assist you in making your garment dreams a reality.
Forbes Brown
Forbes brings over thirty-five years of sewing and costuming experience to Glitter Prince Designs. Having a lifelong love of history, theatre, and military regalia, it is no wonder that costuming was the perfect career choice for him. He graduated from the three year program at the Niagara Collage Theatre Center, and has been creating costumes and historical re-creations ever since, including several years working for a large military tailor here in Toronto.
Forbes’ skill set includes many talents that are a perfect fit for Glitter Prince Designs. Over the years he has turned his hand to such things as fabric dying, millinery, and even kilt making. He is skilled in the drafting and altering of patterns, which helps to ensure that our customers get the perfect look and fit that they envision for their project.
Ryan Jackson
Ryan is both a performer and a businessman. He took his first role onstage at age three and never left the spotlight. Today, he performs onstage in both male and female roles in musicals, plays, as his drag persona, Dixie Rect, and in burlesque as Sky Blew. In addition to performing, since graduating from the University of Toronto, Ryan has been integral in the founding and growth of a number of businesses.
Ryan uses his excellent interpersonal skills to communicate with clients, fully exploring all the details and delights that you wish to bring to your garment. His fanciful creativity enables the creation of beautiful full colour costume designs for your approval. His business knowledge allows Glitter Prince Designs to function efficiently, getting you what you need on time, within budget, and with perfect communication.
