So, apparently there seems to be a claim by several persons that they have seen Spice's costumes for 2010 and they are letting people know it! There is some truth to this as it is a fact that certain vendor/s in New York have shown customers and store patrons items being used for Trinidad Carnival 2010.
While there has been a "vendor leak" in terms of showing of materials used in certain sections of the band (one vendor claimed that someone walked in as he was packing up goods to ship to Trinidad) there is not one person who has seen ANY of Spice's costumes in entirety with the exception of the designers and the band leaders!
No one knows FOR SURE if there will be lots of feathers or a little feathers or exactly how the bits and pieces they were privy to are going to come together on the whole costume. as a matter of fact I know the designers are so upset they are planning to scrap an entire section because of the leak!
Personally I think the vendor leak is extremely unprofessional as they are also showing materials and even costume photos from other bands as well. With all the competition among the mas fraternity it is simply not one would expect from a supplier.
Anyway, the very first look of Spice's costumes will come TOMORROW and for all those who were blown away with just a glimpse of beads and trims in a store, wait until you get a tease of what is to come!
Are you ready to Spice it up?

I ready to SPICE IT UP!
I'm ready to Spice it up, TRIBE it up....Barbarossa it up!!! ANYTHING OUI! Just gimme a band launch!!! LOL...I need something to work with. Searching online for ideas becomes pointless after a while when you don't have a costume to work with :s
As for that vendor business...HMPH! "One vendor claimed..." So does that mean that it's more than one unscrupulous business person who's doing that foolishness? Steups
I'm excited, but I can wait to see the finished products. I like the excitement of the build up to the launch :)
I agree that it was EXTREMELY unprofessional of the vendors. Sounds to me like someone needs to be FIRED (well, in their case just never used again)
Anyways.. bring on the media launch tomorrow. First glimpse of the gorgeous options I have to choose from. Woohoo! :-)
unfortunate that this is the level a supplier will go down to.... in any event i'm looking forward to the band launch pics!
I know the supplier very well and he does it with every client. He has to show and tell....lol he will lose business if this keeps up.
Unfortunately this is done in every industry, from the top on down. From NY & LA vendors to factories in and out of the US...Walk through any factory overseas and the owner will tell you whose production is going through the line. If you're unscrupulous, slip him enough $$$ and you can get a sample. It's annoying, but all they're thinking about is how much more business they will get as a result. It's also one of the reasons you can buy LV and COACH knock-offs before they hit the stores! Never thought though that it would include Carnival costume materials!
I can't wait!!!!!! My computer start back workin' JUST IN TIME!!!!
great stuff i loving the controversy surrounding SPICE already! i also know where i will be travelling this year for materials lol NY seems to be the place lol anyone know the name of the store?
