01
Feathers Read From The Back Row
Every plume is sized for a 90,000-seat arena — color blocks must land at 80 meters, not arm's length.

Rhinestones aren't decoration — under parade spotlights they double a costume's apparent brightness.
Neon Beats Pastel Past Midnight
Fluorescent lime and fuchsia keep saturation when daylight's gone; muted tones vanish into the black.
Gold Is The Punctuation, Not The Sentence
A single gilded headdress anchors the eye — everything else fans outward from that one shimmer.
