The headpiece I am totally in love with since I am a fan of a huge, feathered headpiece and I even like the waistpiece ,though it looks as if it will interfere with the ability to put down one of Dolli's cheesecutter wines!

Utopia International has partners in Canada, Trinidad and the U.S. and have been participating in Caribana over the years, making their first foray into Trinidad Carnival with their presentation "Blue Sapphire" under the banner of D Krewe, a section in Trini Revellers. This section within a section has it's own website and is being marketed in internationally.
And for those thinking that to fulfill a dream of playing frontline it costs an exorbitant sum, this version of the frontline is $2500.00 TT while the frontline with backpack costs $2700.00 TT.
Taking a page from D Kerry they also have a model in the one piece version of the costume, which I thinks goes along way in assisting those thinking of choosing the one piece. I am very excited to see this section and all the costumes from D Kerry on the road for 2007, the rate they are going at I will not be surprised if come 2008 D Kerry launches a band, they certainly have the ideas, creativity and a market for reasonably priced, beautifully made costumes!
