The ORIGINAL Wicked Stitchery~
Creating custom clothing designs since 1997.

Wicked Stitchery was formed in 1997 in Boston, MA as a human sized clothing design company. It was only after designer Brandon Wilkes moved to Los Angeles in late 1997 that he truly discovered the world of fashion and soon after, Asian ball joint dolls.
Seven years as a wardrobe and costume designer in the City of Angels filled Wilkes’ resume with several major motion pictures, music videos and high end fashion houses working one on one with some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Warwick Davis (Star Wars, Harry Potter series), Robert Culp (Everybody Loves Raymond), rock personalities such as Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Outcast, Static-X and members of Hole creating clothing for their music videos and tours as well as a 1999 Emmy nomination for his work on AMC’s exclusive film “The Phantom Eye" directed by legendary sci-fi director Roger Corman.

Wicked Stitchery switched gears from humans to dolls in 2004 when Wilkes was introduced to Asian ball joint dolls. He instantly fell in love with the endless modification possibilities and modern clothing styles that surrounded the hobby. He began creating garments for Volks Super Dollfie and Delf Luts boys to pay for his first doll and hasn’t stopped since. Begining with exclusive sales on Ebay, he quickly expanded to BJD specific forums, the WS website, Facebook & Etsy.

Brandon now lives in North Western Connecticut. He now owns BJDs and fashion dolls of varied sizes as well as Robert Tonner, Ellowyne Wilde and various 1:6th figures.

Wilkes continues to create new designs for ball jointed dolls under the name “Wicked Stitchery” and "Dark Carnival Clothing" on Etsy. Brandon countinues to enjoy cross stitch and creating new illustrations and custom designs in his free time.
