DaPonte Style

About Claudia

Claudia Da Ponte is a Toronto based fashion stylist. She knew from a young age that fashion was her passion. She spent a lot of time growing up in Europe and was exposed to a variety of styles and cultures that she incorporates into her style today. After being inspired by a Coco Chanel book, Da Ponte attended the Vancouver Art Institute for Fashion Design and Merchandising and went on to graduate from Blanche Macdonald with a diploma in Fashion Merchandising. However, she believes that you are born with a sense of style and that it is something that cannot be taught. Rick Alyea's "That One Night" served as Da Ponte's first feature film as costume designer. She has worked on various photo shoots, short films, fashion shows, print ads and theatre productions. She specializes in fashion editorial, commercial print, personal styling, event coordination, and theatre/film work.
