Tribe Car­ni­val's band launch is one of the most an­tic­i­pat­ed dur­ing the Car­ni­val band launch sea­son and there was a huge crowd of ex­pec­tant mas lovers on hand when the team pre­sent­ed their 2015 pre­sen­ta­tions at the Queen's Park Sa­van­nah on Sat­ur­day night.

Next year, Tribe will bring out Wings of De­sire and Bliss will pa­rade in Blue. Band­leader Dean Ackin said in an ear­li­er in­ter­view that the team of de­sign­ers took their cues from the world of fash­ion, with the Vic­to­ria Se­crets run­way show as one of the main in­flu­ences.

There was a mixed re­sponse to the cos­tumes, with some mas-play­ing reg­u­lars say­ing they ex­pect­ed more from the Tribe and Bliss de­sign teams. The most com­mon com­plaint came from the men, who felt the de­sign­ers hadn't paid enough at­ten­tion to the de­signs for male mas­quer­aders.
