CURRENT COLLECTION – SODALISCIOUS SPRING/SUMMER 2009 – A BEAUTIFUL ERA
Our focus is an upscale, sinfully decadent collection composed of only the finest fabrics while creating mouth-watering and exquisite pieces. The Beautiful era collection has a regal allure. Sodaliscious couture appeals to ladies who are fashion-forward and who create trends rather than following them. Sodaliscious Ladies always look polished but with that extra touch of glamour and distinction.
PHILOSOPHY OF NEW COLLECTION – UNE BELLE ÉPOQUE / A BEAUTIFUL ERA
She is the modern day Marie Antoinette - adorned with excess, infused with rock and roll flair, while exuding boldness and confidence.… the essence of a cutting edge starlet interlaced with European class. Ordinary is not in her vocabulaire! Our modern day Marie Antoinette embraces the past romanticism and intertwines it flawlessly with the fiery passion for modern design which she calls a Beautiful Era. She wears only the finest, most regal creations which accentuate her extreme vanity and her need to look like a piece of art. Yawning as she flips through the pages of boring styles featured in a mainstream fashion magazine, she wonders where she could have possibly misplaced her French Vogue. She craves embellished fabrics; a culmination of succulent, rich and velvety textures. These treats of visual pleasures compliment her need for an overtly decadent sophistication in styling. Every piece of her wardrobe envelops her coquette form as though a sensual fondue molding itself to every curve. She is a rebel and prides herself as a true original of fashion and an independent lady scoffing arrogantly at any judgment society bestows upon her. She is proud to believe that if she has her cake, she should eat it too. She has earned it herself after all!
Her appeal is almost sinfully délicieux…But after all, good fashion should be a guilty pleasure, n’est-ce pas?

The Designer
BIOGRAPHY – DESIGNER CINDY RENÉE MATHIEU, SODALISCIOUS
Cindy Renée Mathieu is an only child, born and raised in Sudbury, Ontario. At a very early age, many of her teachers remarked that she showed an exceptional aptitude for the arts, and so she became involved in visual art, dance and modeling programs outside of school. Cindy always enjoyed altering her Barbie clothes to create new looks with her toy “Singer” sewing machine. Consequently, by the age of 10, she knew she was destined to become a fashion designer. By age 12, with the help of her stepmother, she taught herself to sew. Why did she want to learn how to sew so badly? She knew there was a chance she could end up as short as her mom who is 4’10, she was afraid that she too would have to pay outrageous prices for alterations. She figured she had better learn to do it herself!
While attending Sudbury Secondary School for the Performing Arts, Cindy took an extra year of school to specialize in various art programs under the guidance of her mentor, Mrs. Arlene Lalonde. Cindy, wanting to make a splash at her prom, decided to design both her and her prom date’s graduation outfits, a decision that garnered enough attention to get her featured in two local newspapers. She also designed many of the costumes for her school plays and worked part-time at “Fabricland”, creating store displays as well as taking on side sewing projects for customers. As part of a co-op program, Cindy also tried her hand as an apprentice interior decorator and was later asked to help design a unique outfit that was used as a wall display at a local restaurant. Upon graduating high school, at the age of 19, Cindy packed up her bags and moved to Toronto. She attended Ryerson Polytechnic University to study Fashion Design and took courses including Pattern Drafting, Draping, Marketing and Illustration.
