Bethany Cordwell

Bethany Cordwell is an award-winning costume and fashion designer based in Meanjin/Brisbane and is known for creating highly detailed conceptual works of art in both wearable and visual forms. Graduating from QUT with a Bachelor of Design-Honours (Fashion Design), Cordwell’s practice sparks conversation and wonder through its strong aesthetic, visual narrative and focus on creating thought-provoking work through an immersive and inviting lens.

Cordwell’s designs have gained international acclaim, with Beyoncé wearing one of her bespoke bodysuits for the Renaissance album visuals. Her work has also been worn by Meg Washington, Adam Noviello, and Alok, and featured in Vogue Australia, Vogue UK, Vogue Portugal, Grazia, Vault, and Dazed.

A celebrated World of WearableArt designer, she won the 2022 Avant-Garde Section and Residency Experience Award which saw her work exhibited in LA and was runner-up in the 2025 Neon Section with Straw-ry Eyed.

Cordwell made her costume design debut with Australasian Dance Collective for THREE (2024), choreographed by Jenni Large.

Bethany is passionate about creative collaboration and is thrilled to be working with both Joel Bray and Amber McCartney as well as the ADC dancers again for the 2026 season of THREE.
