About Gem Of The World Kostúmûntwerp

Gem of the World is in karnavalskostúm ynspirearre troch de Kaaimaneilannen. De wite kleur docht tinken oan it poederwite sân en it heldere wetter fan de trije eilannen. De wjukfoarm ferwiist nei de miljoenen toeristen dy't elk jier nei de Kariben fleane. It kostúm is mei de hân makke fan stoffen lykas spandex en kant, mei pailletten en fearren as fersierings. De skulptearre dielen binne omraame mei metaaltried en gearbûn mei in spesjale technyk. It kostúm waard makke op Seven Mile Beach, mei in direkt útsjoch op de oseaan, om de natuerlike skjintme en it maritime miljeu fan de eilannen te beklamjen.

Unique Properties: The design has two main design foundations – the color and the shape. The white is reflective of the white powder sand that creates the beaches around the Cayman Islands. This design's wing shape represents the millions of tourists who take a flight to experience one of the gems of the Caribbean, the Cayman Islands.
Tags: Costume, Carnival, Cayman, Wings, Nature,
Production Technology: This design was handmade from scratch, using a combination of various fabrics such as spandex, lace, and other embellishments such as sequins and feathers. The foundation that created the sculpted piece is framed with metal wire and bonded using a special technique.
Design Challenge: The hardest part was the time and effort to sculpt the design with the metal wire. This took an extensive period of time to sculpt, frame, and secure before the fabric base could be applied.
Research: This design was created on Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands. The designer's view each morning created the visuals that underpinned the design. The piece was created with a direct view of the ocean to inspire the design. The designer has spent many years observing this part of the Cayman Islands.
Inspiration: The Cayman Islands, which are three small islands in the Caribbean, considered a top tourist destination in the region, inspired this design. These three islands' natural beauty attracts millions of tourists every year for their pristine beaches and healthy marine environment. The predominant white color of the costume represents that the crystal-like water, the powder white sands, and the purity of the Cayman Islands.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2018 and was completed in Dec 2019 in the Cayman Islands.
