Fantazia International Bandlaunch

Fantazia International - Will Morton (formerly of Toronto Revellers) band launched last weekend. you can view pictures from the launch of the website www.fantaziainternational.net

The costumes are pretty decent. Some are better than others. My only issue is the lack of beads on the waistbands, you're really seeing alot of panty. And I suppose that's following with the Brazilian theme as most of the bottoms are simply bejeweled thongs. But I think for the Canadian public, there is a need for a little more beads.

Also in staying with the whole Brazilian feel we see some caged bras.

The backpacks on the front lines are nice and elaborate, but in the photos the models are positioned as if the backpacks are too heavy.

My favourite costume of the lot, would have to be the white.
My least favourite is the mishmash of colours - the blue, red, yellow etc. The colours just weren't put together in a way that was aesthetically pleasing for me personally.

More band launches to come people...stay tuned!

The colorful mess has to go.

But all of the other costumes are actually nice, especially that sea green/ blue frontline backpack.

This year will be my first Caribana, let what happens.

Anonymous......Get the facts straight.Fantazia knew what they were about before leaving....... However Brazil is a large country and one or more persons can portray different parts of brazil.Fantazia is playing a taste of brasil. revellers is playing bacchanal in rio. Rio is the largest city in Brazil. There is a difference in what the two bands are playing.

Again...people seem to get overly testy. Both themes are representative of Brazil...They are SIMILAR themes no matter which way you twist it. No body said they were the same.

To start a new band, and have a similar theme as the band you left is something worth mentioning. If you don't like it, thats on you.

Drawing reference to the fact that they have similar themes does not discredit the talent of any of the bands or designers. I think Fantazia did a wonderful job.

So people need to relax.
