But even amidst the pain and uncertainty, strength shines through. “Inside we are all stronger than before,” says Yana Olenich, founder of the eponymous womenswear label Olenich. “Unity and resistanceIsIn our blood.”Ayear on, five designers reveal what their personal and professional realities look like now. Masqueraders wearing carnival costumes with wings and crowns jumped up behind sound trucks large mobile stages outfitted with speakers, DJ equipment, and steel pans that crawled through Port of Spain on Tuesday morning.At Victoria Square, members of the Lost Tribe carnival band fastened on backpacks made of drapery, gigantic clusters of butterflies, and capes. Sweet soca and calypso boomed throughout the capital city. “If you hear any noiseIn the background, they’re music trucks on theAvenue. Welcome to carnival,” says ValmikI'maharaj, the creative director and bandleader of the Lost Tribe. Maharaj says he’s everything from “head cook” to “bottle washer” he’s a designer, editor, strategist, and visionary.
Revelers who join the band put their own spin on the theme and construct their own costumes.Mawasi Charles/Scene Productions Ltd Trinidad and Tobago’s carnivalIs the largestIn the
Caribbean.Ahumble tradition blossomedInto a magnetic ritual that draws the diaspora home, and costumingIs at the root of the spectacle. “We’re a strange mix of costuming, performance, entertainment, party, allIn the same thing,” says Maharaj, whoIs 37 and from Barataria, a borough 20 minutes east of Port of Spain.The Lost TribeIs a young carnival troupe that put onIts first road march seven years ago. Since the beginning, the costumes departed from the feather and headdress bikinI'mas (costume) most bacchanalists have seen or worn.On carnival Tuesday, the Lost Tribe pushed the boundaries of tradition yet again. The overarching theme was “202We,” represented by blue, the color of “renewal, of washing, of rebirth,” according to Maharaj. Asection called Wish, designed by Naas Mohammed, led the band. The revelers wore painter’s tape blueIridescent “road gowns” paired with beaded, baby blue bikini bottoms and tropical print head wraps. The Wish frontline wore four foot tall green bamboo like poles that juttedInto the air and were draped with coordinating printed fabric; they looked like sarongs blowingIn the wind. The men wore a black netted jacket with blue sequin fringe with mesh joggers.
The Lost Tribe costumes are distinctly theatrical yet flattering. They require more fabric than the standard bikini costume, so striking a balance between cool and campIs a must. Maharaj says the departure wasIntentional. “We jump around for two daysIn the sun,It’s very hot, we’reIn the middle of the planet,” he said. “I understand the reasoning for a two piece or a one piece, or basically something that could allow you to be able to not die of heat and collapse on the road. However,I do
think thatIt’s a very narrow book or narrow column to writeIn.”The Washing, designed by Peter Elias and Jeneile McCarthy, looks like something Wakandan royalty might wear to a mas.
RevelersIn this section twirledIn their azure and teal tie dyed capes. They wore crowns shaped like elegant masses of seaweed and paraded around Queen’s Park Savannah while a song called “Come Home,” by Nailah Blackman and Skinny Fabulous, reverberated through the streets.
