Calling Toronto home, designer Shaun Mascarenhas weaves together formal training and the rich tapestry of lived experience to craft Demascaré’s mesmerizing, gender-neutral demi-couture.

Shaun's journey began in Architecture, where he developed a deep appreciation for structure and spatial awareness before making an intentional shift to Fashion.

This foundation is evident in the strong architectural and linear elements woven into his creative process.

During and after his studies, Shaun trained in the esteemed ateliers of Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, and Romona Keveza, where he mastered the art of luxury fashion.

Immersed in this world of impeccable craftsmanship and design, he refined his skills to create pieces that exude sophistication, innovation, and timeless allure - hallmarks of the Demascaré brand.

Rooted in rich cultural heritage, Demascare's design philosophy is deeply influenced by Shaun's upbringing in Bangalore, India.

Watching his mother elegantly drape her sarees sparked his lifelong love for draping - a signature element in his work today.

With sustainability at the heart of his vision, he transforms vintage sarees into exquisite demi-couture creations, fusing heritage with modern glamour.
