A native of Miami Beach, clothing designer and costumer Candi Cane Canncel is a definite craft maven. Whether painting, drawing, sewing, knitting, or doing mosaics, she loves art and beauty and making things fabulous.
While attending art school, Candi began creating costumes for her night job as a go-go dancer in South Beach nightclubs. After graduating from both school and dancing, she continued to sew and created her line Candiland, sold in local boutiques. Her one-of-a kind dresses feature bright mix and match fabrics, hand painted detailing and murals, and innovative silkscreens. Candi’s clothing can be found in boutiques in Los Angeles and online and her costumes have been featured in The Kit Kat Follies burlesque shows, the Los Angeles stage production of Grease 2 and the B-Movie Out Kold with Ice-T. She has been featured on craft television shows on HGTV, The DIY Network as well as TLC's "Faking It". In her spare time she can be found adorning something with glitter or knitting up a storm.
