Walking through the crowd, you’re overwhelmed by the music, the smells and the sights. Each performer catching your eye; a clown, a knife thrower, a sword swallower, a fortune teller, acrobats and tightrope walkers. In front of one tent there is a man yelling, “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up and see the odd, the peculiar, the Freaks!” This collection is inspired by 19th century carnivals and the performers. Using primary colors and basic patterns help embody the feeling and whimsy of the Carnival and Freak Shows.
