Carnival is the happiest festival of the year – you can be whoever you want and make jokes about whoever you want, making everyone blissful. The most famous celebration of Carnival takes place in Rio de Janeiro, the world ‘capital’ of Samba.

Carnival in Rio is magnificent. Samba Schools present their themed parades and costumes in a colorful, dazzling way that bewitches everyone’s sences. Apart from the Parades/competition at the “Sambodromo”, there are parties all over town and everyone is dancing in the streets.

Preparing the Costume

All costumes have to portray a theme laid down by each Samba School for the year. The responsibility of the designer is to ensure that the theme idea is creatively depicted in the attire that is made.
