We have been creating intricately designed costumes in Toronto, Cayman Islands, Miami, Chicago and Trinidad for the better part of the last decade.
CHILDREN OF THE LOST TRIBE
“We, as the children of the lost tribe, the children of the enslaved, have this broken connection to Africa,” says Candice Dixon, as she describes the purpose behind her intricately beaded costumes. “We always have one or two costumes dedicated to the motherland. This is why we do Carnival to begin with. It’s about freedom, emancipation and celebration.”
DO DESIGNERS DREAM IN 3D?
“When our models walk in these costumes, it’s a magnet for attention,” says Dwayne Dixon. “They were designed with innovation in mind and look different from what’s out there. We’re rooted in traditional mas, but we’re looking at it from the future.”
