Pinkiebel is a brand owned and run by Annabel Gerke. A 22-year-old Nashville native, she relocated to Toronto in 2013 to pursue a diploma in pattern drafting and design. She draws inspiration from anything imaginative or fantastic and has a particular interest in pop culture. Bringing a little bit of fantasy to the real world takes work, creativity, and a resourcefulness that is what She loves best about design. After having graduated, She works full-time at a consignment shop, does alterations and custom daywear commissions on the side, and frequently competes in costume competitions at anime and sci-fi conventions.
