Questioning the Creatives:

Unfiltered Conversations with Canadian Fashion & Film

Presented by Toronto International Film Festival Industry, Perspectives on Costume Design brings together leading voices shaping how character, narrative, and identity are built on screen.

Guest curated and moderated by Adam Quang (StylLounge), the panel features:

  • Antoinette Messam
  • Luis Sequeira
  • Anne Dixon

This conversation moves beyond aesthetics, into process, collaboration, and the real influence of costume design within film and television.

StylLounge Perspective

Curated through StylLounge, this panel reflects a broader position:
costume design is not secondary to film, it is central to how stories are seen, understood, and remembered.

StylLounge operates at the intersection of fashion, film, and cultural dialogue, bringing designers into spaces where visibility is intentional, not incidental.
