Start de Carnival..children....start de Carnival..
Our professional & full photos will be placed on the site within the following 2 weeks.
However, for your viewing and to assist in selection, we have placed temporary snapshots of the costumes on offer. BACK LINE, FRONTLINE & MEN'S.



Crème du Soiree, the portrayal, is a bringing together of 'the best of the night' in performances which can be seen in Las Vegas, the water shows, theatrical performances and discos, a culmination.
The illusion will be brought to life by the masquerader, parading in the costume as the beading and appliquéd stone workings reflect the sun, and each movement made enhanced by the swoosh and sway of beads, mimicking the various activities in a Caribbean fashion as they gyrate and jump through the streets for Notting Hill Carnival 2008, the sounds of scintillating and driving Soca music in the air, leaving the onlooker in awe wondering state at the acrobatic feats of the waistline.
Turquoise blue sets the imagery of water, where silver beading and appliqué imply the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas night life and the costumed performers going through their routines......Making the masquerader indeed Crème du Soiree....
