So, interesting observation yesterday when I got a free copy of Harts 2006 Carnival magazine. There was one of the Individual masqueraders wearing a costume where the design looked familiar. Now, I am
NOT condemning Island People at all for reworking this costume, I mean I never saw it until yesterday anyway but this is for all the people who have lambasted TRIBE saying that they could have waited a few years to "remix" Enchanted Forest and Sahara for their 2008 presentation (obviously I don't subscribe to the fact that TRIBE costumes look very much like Island People's but I am biased)
And, I can compare other costumes.. Oasis and Nylon Pool for example, Goddess and Defenders and Victoria Secrets Angels and the
Sahara Jumbie headpiece that looks very much like this headpiece from
American Plume and Feather Company.But that is enough playing Devil's advocate today; I just want to remind those with short lived memories that there is very little original concept, design or thought when it comes to bikini mas as inspiration comes from many different sources and no band is immune to this.
I have been told Island People's costumes for 2008 will attempt to go beyond anything that was done before and I eagerly await the viewing to see if they can indeed live up to the expectations. I can't wait!
