\n

They have a flag, a color-scheme and devoted (usually life-long) supporters. They clearly resemble modern corporate organizations, with several departments, sub-divisions, strategic partnerships and apply strong marketing technics.

\n

*The carnival is all about dressing up, and it doesn\u2019t matter how under-dressed or overdressed you are.

\n

In terms of a formal definition of parade costumes at the samba schools, they are figurative outfits worn by wings and float members, and aid as adornments to the theme construction and development.\u00a0 Wondered and created by costume designers and carnival producers, they are at first elaborated in drawings, the so called \u201ccostume design\u201d. The materials used in the costumes are specified in this costume design as well.

\n

Costumes must follow a few \u201cguidelines\u201d in order to present a positive image to the judging panel in terms of the costume relationship with theme and other issues, such as:
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 suit the theme (conception and fitness);
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 be developed with an imaginative creation (originality);
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 be diversified, as to utilization of the theme potential (variety);
