From her yellow entrance ensemble to her grand finale fantasy, Ottawa-based itsqueenicesis treated the Main Stage as her personal runway.
Icesis Couture is currently in a love/hate relationship with her sewing machine. “We’re fighting,” she says on the phone. “I don’t want to see it; I don’t want to talk to it; I don’t want to use it!” Given what she’s just gone through, it’s easy to see why.
Icesis Couture has been serving looks since the first day she sissy’d that walk into the Werk Room onseason two. From her yellow entrance ensemble to her grand finale fantasy, the Ottawa-based queen treated the Main Stage as her personal runway, andand viewers fell in love with her for it. As her self-proclaimed “nerdy” and “weird” fashion sense merged with her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, she became an unstoppable force and went on to win the title of Canada’s Next Drag Superstar.
And work hard she did. Due to a tight production timeline, the queens were only given three weeks’ notice before the first day of filming. As each episode has its own theme and runway mandate, a very specific wardrobe is required in a very short amount of time. While most contestants either can’t sew or prefer to outsource their wardrobes, Icesis is not one of them and instead constructed 30 looks in 21 days — hence her current feud with her sewing machine.
“For three weeks, I set up my machine on my dining room table, and for three weeks, I did 16 hours a day of sewing,” says Icesis. “At the time, we were also in a full-blown lockdown in Ottawa, so none of the fabric stores were open. We don’t have very many resources here as it is, so I had to borrow scraps of fabric from my friends.
