HELLO
my name is
CANDELA

NOW, AT THE PRESENT TIME

• personal assistant to Sophia Knight, Designs by Knight ☾
  Designs by Knight ☾ is a well know luxury fashion brand in the wizarding world. A majority of consumers and clientele tend to come from 'pureblood' backgrounds due to the Knight family legacy. Designs also specializes in costume design and is one of the go-to sources for costuming in the wizarding world. Ever been to a production at the Phoenix Theatre? Chances are that the costumes were provided by Designs.
  
  As a personal assistant, Candela serves Sophia in whatever way she requires to run and maintain her fashion empire. This includes assisting and researching specialist design work, historical researching, making rough sketches and preparing materials and textiles. She sometimes is given the opportunity to travel abroad to study other textiles, techniques, and fashion influences to bring back and apple to Designs projects.
  
• personal stylist
  As a personal stylist, Candela helps her clients choose the appropriate clothing and accessories for different occasions and day-to-day wear. It is not all about 'out with the old and in with the new', but rather helping clients navigate and reflect on the current wardrobe and personal style to find those core pieces that may be missing and elevate each individuals aesthetic so they feel confident and comfortable in their fashion and body. Candela's clientele include professional quidditch players, Ministry officials, and up-and-coming wrock stars.
• fashion designer
  Candela's personal label, 'borboleta', is a streetwear brand designed to fit all body types and punctuated by vibrant colors and prints sponsored by her mentor, Sophia Knight. Each item of clothing has her signature butterfly design embroidered into the bottom inside hem with enchanted holographic purple thread. The butterfly will flutter about the hemline on its own and at no discomfort nor tickling to the wearer.
  
  Candela has also designed signature looks for special occasions for her long-term personal stylist clients and others. Her latest designs were a wedding dress, groom's suit, and adornments for the various cattle in attendance including (but not limited to) ribbons, cummerbunds, lapels, and floral adorned bonnets.
