Not gonna lie, you do have to be a little crazy to work with Fancy That! Our CRAZY AWESOME team is fired up about continuing to build a service business with heart & soul that you’re going to love coming back to again & again.
We love our crazy costume emporium in Crows Nest, Sydney. Yes, you can buy online with us but we still love the face to face contact we have with you guys & the fact that you entrust us to advise you on your special occasions. Our costume hire specialists especially love the handmade artistry, vintage & originality we offer on our hire floor & the whole bang lot of us are SUPER EXCITED to be keeping the magic of costuming alive & well into the future!
Belinda - Director:
... & balloon artist, book-keeper, customer service manager, inventory controller, marketer ... with the energy & enthusiasm to power a small city! You could say dressing up is in Bel's DNA. Her Dad grew up in the iconic Palais Royale Hotel in Katoomba, where his family owned the hotel & fancy dress events in the grand mirrored ballroom were legendary.
A passionate advocate for small business, genuine customer service, authenticity & more play in adulthood, Bel created Fancy That! as her own wonderfully whimsical corner of the world to soften the spiky edges of adult life. It's too short to be taken seriously all the time. Look hard enough & you'll find a reason (& we've got the way) to Play Everyday!
If Fancy That! had a heartbeat, it'd probably be Kirsty. Our right-hand woman extraordinaire has done it all – nurse, florist, caterer... so it's no surprise she can handle absolutely anything the day (& Bel) throws at her!
Equal parts organised, creative & just a tiny bit OCD, Kirsty somehow keeps the shop looking immaculate while keeping the chaos running smoothly. Must be her capybara spirit animal. Honestly, we're not entirely convinced this place would function without her!
Abi - Stylist:
If Abi had a business card, it would say "Pop Culture Guru!" She's an Arts groupie - there's rarely a weekend where she's not off reviewing a movie or sitting front stage at a dramatic theatre event. Abi brings her knowledge & love for all things movie, tv & music-theme related to the Fancy That! team, where her creativity & customer service shine.
She's also been running the Design Ranch studio since 2010, specialising in custom illustration, graphic design & art direction (what CAN'T this woman do?!)
Arnon - Costume Prep & Stylist:
Equal parts cosplay connoisseur & tabletop gaming guru, Arnon is our resident Monday Mastermind, tackling the mountain of costume returns in our Hire department, laundering & prepping every one for its next adventure. When not at Fancy That!, you'll find him running tabletop gaming tournaments, dreaming up his next cosplay masterpiece, riding his motorbike or recording voice-overs in those dulcet tones.
With ever-changing hair, unmistakable style & just a hint of Jack Skellington energy, Arnon is a true original... & we're bloody glad he found his way to us!
Bianca - Tailor & Stylist:
TBC
Gino - Balloon Artist:
When not creating balloon magic, you'll find him delivering smiles for Australia Post. And yep, he's Bel's ex... proof that with enough goodwill, you really can stay friends after the credits roll (it also helps that all instore weapons are non-lethal...)!
