Blackpool pleasure beach

Here are some images I took, containing beautifully made costumes accessories. These pieces of costumes are situated in the Blackpool pleasure beach costume wardrobe. These costumes are very inspiring to me as they are full of vibrant colours, they consist of amazing looking feathers and they represent liveliness and an extravagant mood, almost as if the costumes are alive! As these costumes are made for specific shows shown at the pleasure beach they have to look extremely appealing to the audience and credible of the character that's created. The variety of the exquisite fabrics used to create these mystical costumes are very carefully picked as they are not only chosen because of their attractiveness but also chosen for a purpose, for example for an ice skating show the fabrics would have to be light in weight and would have a certain angelic flow when the performer moves. Another aspect that inspires me about these images is the lively feel the costumes give out to the audience, these costumes are made to attract and fascinate the audience, to make the character magical and dramatic but also credible. The costumes used in fairground shows are one of the most interesting parts to a fairground in my opinion, they look absolutely immaculate and are very expressionistic, I plan on researching more into the costumes worn in the Blackpool pleasure beach, research into some old historic costumes worn in other fairgrounds and also research into the materials used on some of the costumes.
