Our Story

Where Imagination, Craftsmanship, and Individuality Meet

Founded in 2014, Arnavaz Lindsay Couture is the creative home of Australian designer Arnavaz Lindsay, whose work bridges the worlds of theatre, fashion, and performance. With more than two decades of experience across couture, costume, corsetry, bridal, and headwear, Arnavaz has built a reputation for designs that are as meticulously constructed as they are visually striking.

Her creative foundation is shaped by formal training at the London College of Fashion, Melbourne School of Fashion, and NIDA, where she completed a Bachelor of Theatre Design. These studies — paired with years of hands-on industry work — inform her signature blend of technical mastery and bold artistic storytelling.

Arnavaz’s work has become synonymous with drama, elegance, and standout tailoring. She has crafted bespoke pieces for performers across burlesque, pin-up, drag and contemporary performance art, with her costumes gracing stages at Mx Burlesque Queensland, Mx Burlesque Australia, Cooly Rocks On, and countless productions in between. Performers including Magnolia Knife, Lila Luxx, Citrine Velvetine, Madeline Glasseater, Lucy Luxe, Fortuna Maxima, Scarlet Tinkabelle, and Vena Cava have all trusted Arnavaz to bring their visions to life.

Beyond the stage, Arnavaz is sought after for both traditional and unconventional bridal wear, creating gowns that honour individuality as much as silhouette. Her couture eveningwear and red-carpet pieces are known for their refined drama — garments designed to turn heads while reflecting the personality of the wearer.

In addition to luxury couture and costume, Arnavaz also designs an in-house ready-to-wear lingerie label, Intoxication, offering beautifully crafted pieces for gifting, performing, or adding a touch of playful luxury to everyday life.

Today, Arnavaz continues to collaborate with clients, performers, and creative teams across a variety of entertainment industries — transforming ideas into garments that celebrate imagination, identity, and artistry.

Whether you’re dreaming of a bespoke wedding gown, a show-stopping costume, or a custom look for your next production, Arnavaz Lindsay Couture is where your fantasy becomes a reality.
