Feather engineering in Carnival costume design
Feathers are not decoration,
they are choreography.
They rise, fall, and shimmer
like music made visible.
The story
Carnival costumes use lightweight structural rigs to support dramatic featherwork; the engineering balances stage drama with the wearer's endurance through the parade.
