Mon noM's Designer


Cindy Nyilas



background - professional
Making clothes has been a passion of Cindy's for her entire life. She graduated from Fanshawe College Fashion Design program in 1989 and has maintained a full time freelance design studio since 1990. She is a fashion designer who has specialized in stretchy wearables for most of her career. She has been the technical designer for many private labels, having experience in club wear, street wear, dance wear, fitness wear, swimwear and special needs gear. She also is a patented inventor who has a utility patent on a breast support garment for women recovering from breast cancer.


background - personal
Cindy was born in Toronto, Ontario in May 1967 and  was raised in fabulous Northern Ontario. 'The Valley', just north of Sudbury, was her old stomping grounds. 'The Valley', more specifically Capreol Lake, has always been a great source of inspiration. Most of her family still lives in the area, and she cherishes every last one of them (... there are lots of them!). After graduating from Ecole Secondaire Hanmer, Cindy moved to London, Ontario to attend Fanshawe College to study fashion design. This charming south-western Ontario city, which has always managed to maintain a smaller town charm, was where she hung her hat for a great many years after graduating.
In 2003, Cindy relocated to Osoyoos, British Columbia. With the help of very supportive friends and family, she packed up her Ford Tempo with her industrial sewing machines (yes it was quite a sight!) and drove cross country. She loves the Okanagan! The beautiful environment and people provide her with a constant source of creative energy.

Movement, colour, love and life.

Cindy and her partner J, travel up and down the Okanagan Valley showing their wears at various festivals and markets. They meet so many interesting  people and enjoy so many different events. The wonderful people they meet along the way are such a source of inspiration.
