Black Pearl
Olympus

Truthfully, I didn't know what to expect for Legends. Would we see costumes portraying legendary Calypsonians? I really didn't know. As it turns out, Tribal Knights designers portrayed legendary people and places. The models hit the stage at 12:45. I was glad to see they spent a decent amount of time walking the runway and posing, so we could get shots. (A pet peeve is when {inexperienced} models rush down the stage & exit too quickly - not giving us enough time to get a proper look, let alone pictures.) Speaking of proper shots, I was concerned we'd get anything with the smoke machine we were near that was pumping as each section was announced! Thankfully, the smoke cleared.
I was impressed with most designs and headpieces. My first favourite is Black Pearl, that bejeweled headpiece just glistens from across the room. I was also very drawn to Lost Treasures, it's so eye catching. It photographed orangey, but it's peach. I like the different bra/suit options & the feathers. Olympus is very attractive, especially the iridescent jewelery hanging from the bra & waistband, which is very pretty... but that's the type of embellishment that unfortunately gets snagged on tights. The shade of teal shows up blue in pictures. Spain, Cleopatra, Africa, and Northern Lights have strong beautiful headpieces. Not all colour combos worked for me, and I tend to not look twice at colours that I wouldn't wear, that wouldn't compliment me. However, I can see the appeal of One Love and Dream Catcher for darker masqueraders. Glad to see men's costumes were included in the launch. As Trini-in-Toronto reminds, men play mas too!
