Welcome to the Prangsta Costumiers news page where we list what’s coming up & what’s been going down in the Prangstaverse…

May: Prangsta is designing two exciting collections to be showcased in the summer.  One is inspired by the 'Belle Epoque' era and the garden of Eden. Its graceful lines are reminiscent of Classical beauty, Mucha and the Jazz Age - it drips with innocence using curving lines, drapes, pearls and tactile satins. This is juxtaposed with a 'Fall of Babylon' theme for the second collection which exemplifies the temper of a post modern apocalypse; armoured transvestite Darthvaders battle to get to the top of the rat race, exaggerated wigs tower with collapsing skyscrapers, an angel falls from a trapeze and singes her wings, pinstripes, metallics and deranged Dickensian ragamuffins. Look forward to witnessing our theatrical fashion showcase at various exclusive events and festivals throughout the Summer!

April: When we're not plotting extravagant circus shows, parading down the catwalk or swinging from the rafters Prangsta is busy pawing bands like Tough Love who we are proud to dress. We offer a 30% discount on costume hire (themes include Prohibition, Steam Punk and Victoriana) to the patrons of their 'White Mischief' events - April 28th, May 23rd, June 20th, August 30th, October 31, Dec 31st. Please check www.whitemischief.info for further details.

Feb: Prangsta designed an exquisite collection of accessories based around the 'Myths and Legends' theme for the Secret Garden Party's Bacchanalia Ball. Ornate horns and head-dresses dripping with decadent jewels, the hind-quarters and hooves of naughty Pans, fawns and Satyrs and cold brilliant masks of Incubus and Succubus.

December 08: Prangsta Entertainment Agency is born!  We’re more than happy with the results of dressing our performers UP to the nines and unleashing them at various parties over the Christmas period. Not only do our acts hold a certain charismatic edge over other artists, they are exquisitely garbed... A truly authentic ‘Vintage Circus’ family: the resplendent Ringmaster! Showgirls, Jugglers, Aerial Performance, Clowns, Dancers, Hula Hoop Girls, Funambulists, Gypsy Bands, Fiddlers, Mime, Freakshows and Fire Eaters. Unrivalled in their performance and unsurpassed in their vintage and couture costumiery - oh this entertainment really is Enchanting...

October 2008 Halloween at Prangsta this year will be a veritable circus of horrors with such theames as Victorian freak show,18th Century zombies, meanacing jokers & tricksy jesters as well as the more familiar Vampire & Demon costumes.
