For ten years, Christopher Paunil has been the creative force behind his eponymous luxury women's brand, specializing in contemporary bridal, evening and bespoke gowns handmade in Toronto. A George Brown College alum, he first mastered the technical and artistic demands of costume design. Today he is the go-to dream-maker for celebs such as Cheryl Hickey, Nathalie Brown and Lauren Hammersley as well as for legions of brides-to-be in search of the perfect, “I’ve never felt more beautiful” dress.

At least 30 hours of sewing hundreds of rows of 10-ply ruffles, went into creating Christopher Paunil’s epic Cashmere Collection coat. According to the designer, “I was going for fluid movement, dramatic dimension, something over-the-top.” We’d say he succeeded. It’s only fitting that the masquerader sports a glossy, plain white, full-face mask.
