Costume Design — Neonness.co

Welcome to my Costume Design Corner! I’ve been designing them since 2016. From inception, I have had the pleasure of designing for The Lost Tribe Carnival and have also had the pleasure of collaborating with Frolic Nation Mas since 2019.

The Lost Tribe Carnival is a well-known band and highly respected part of the Greatest Show on Earth - the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. It is an honour to work with such an organization and contribute to the vibrant, colorful and vibe that Carnival exudes.

As a designer, I pour my heart and soul into each and every creation, ensuring that every detail is perfect and the end result is a breathtaking and unique masterpiece. I am excited to share my expertise and experience with you here!

LIGHT

YEAR: 2023 BAND: LOST TRIBE CARNIVAL

LIGHT was inspired by my need to create something shiny and powerful especially coming out of the pandemic- a time where I wasn’t able to create at all. It signified my new beginning. (Trinidad)

AMAPIANO was created as an expression of South African genre which is a fusion of the music I love! (Grenada)

NYAME was a vessel for me to present a mythical character in one of my favorite childhood stories- Anansi. (Trinidad)

UZURI

YEAR: 2022 BAND: FROLIC NATION MAS

UZURI means beauty. The theme for FNM band in 2022 was Sahara. I really wanted to capture the essence of the color and vibrance that we can also find within the desert. (Nottinghill, London)
