About Us

Monsters of the Underworld is a collaboration between Dicapria and Tess - a queer couple based in New Orleans. They each bring 20+ years of experience in their respective fields, Dicapria in theatre production and design and Tess in sewing and textile design. Together, they build large scale wearable monsters, maximalist art installations, light art, monster fashion, and more.

In 2024, they opened a brick and mortar art & vintage space in New Orleans, highlighting the work of other local artists alongside their own monster fashion and merch.
