After creating several fashion shows for Convergences past (starting all the way back in 1996 for Convergence 2!), this year Kambriel will be doing something different. Her part of the show will be in honor of Laura from The Pale Court ~ a beloved friend and fellow designer who tragically passed away last year. Kambriel has been completing the unfinished designs that were left at the time of Laura's passing, and will showcase these as part of a special memorial tribute at Erzulie's High Fashion Tea in the Queen Anne Ballroom on the afternoon of Saturday April 15th, 2-4 PM.

December 28, 2005 ~ Article Page Update
The Kambriel Articles Page has several new interviews and pictorial articles featured, so please feel welcome to take a look!

August 6, 2004 ~ Kambriel at Curiosa with The Cure!
This is just a quick update about an event I'm doing tomorrow. It's the Curiosa festival featuring "The Cure" as headliners! The Cure has been a huge inspiration to me in so many different ways (art, writing, music, dancing, style...) beginning when I bought my first Cure album back in 1985, and continuing on with my love for them ever since. I was so honoured recently when I was invited by Curiosa to have a booth at the show. They kindly wanted to give me a venue to have my clothing designs exposed to a larger audience who might not otherwise be exposed to these darker fashions! I will have my offerings available at the Mansfield, MA show tomorrow, so if you are coming, please do stop by the tan gazebo/tent draped with wisteria to say hello and take a look at all of the lovely one of a kind clothing accessories and decor I've made especially for Curiosa!

A truly stellar show ~ We had a great time, and our models were outstanding.

You can read more about the film, and see some preview production stills at The Corridor website.

October 2002 ~ A "bewitching" portrait of Kambriel is featured in the issue (#8) of Dark Realms magazine alongside an article on the history of witchcraft throughout the ages.

October 2002 ~ Kambriel was asked by the Team Agency of Boston to create an authentic looking, antiqued "Grim Reaper" Robe to portray Death for a national advertising campaign. The finished robe was an exact grim envisionment, made from hand-tattered heavy black silk, and a stretched and torn shadowy cobweb overlay, with a look straight from the Netherworld!

October 2002 ~ Kambriel is featured in Issue 4 of Tear Magazine. You can see the article here! An interview is included alongside dramatic, full colour photos of some of our work with gorgeous, exotic models and photography provided by Tear. The issue is definitely a great one, with others artists such as Madeline Von Foerster, Rasputina and the Changelings also being featured! Be sure to find a copy of this issue while it's still available!

October 1, 2002 ~ We're back! Thank you all very much for your patience while we were away in Paris. We were truly inspired by having the opportunity to see a vast number of treasures by some of the most prolific and creative master artist/designers of the past, including Poiret, Schiaparelli, Vionnet, Lalique, Mucha, Guimard, and more! We look forward to discovering how these dream visions will unfurl their spirit into future ideas and offerings from the Kambriel line!

September 2002 ~ This September, we are attending an intensive month-long fashion seminar in Paris! We will be working hard in Paris to bring back many new ideas and inspirations to you all!

June 2002 ~ We are flattered to be featured (under our original name, Atrocities) in Mick Mercer's latest book, "21st Century Goth"! We were especially honoured the review Mick wrote for us: "Magnificence at every turn. This is my favourite classic Goth clothing site, for those who prefer their elegance subtly understated, or ornate." Thanks Mick ~ keep the books coming!

May 2002 ~ Kambriel is featured in a four page ethereal fashion spread in the current Spring issue of The Sentimentalist Magazine. Be sure to find a copy at a store near you to see the latest of what we've been up to!

April 2002 ~ The Kambriel website is unveiled!
As a natural step in the growth of our company, we have changed the name of Atrocities to the name of our head designer Kambriel! Do not worry about us changing though ~ our inspirations remain true to our long-time aesthetic of the eerily beautiful, and the Atrocities line is still offered. We shall continue to work on fantastical new designs, and if you got a chance to see our Absinthe Collection in New York, you have had a taste of the extravagance of the new Kambriel label.

We hope you'll enjoy the new website, we have worked to cut down on load time, added new, informative background pages for articles, a customer gallery, fashion shows, and a designer biography, in addition to all-new graphics throughout the site, so there is much to look upon! Check back to watch as events unfold, and add your email address above to keep up to date with the latest news about Kambriel! Also, be sure to check out the One of a Kind Page for special and unique offerings!

April 24, 2002 ~ Kambriel's designs and the announcement of the name change is released in the latest issue of "Newgrave" magazine. This issue (#4) is named the "Fashion Issue", and is an appropriate place for Kambriel to relay the news of our changes. We thank Madeline of "The Sentimentalist" for her lovely essay on our fashions!
