Swirling flames around your body always gets the energetic vibrations humming and when you’ve got the right duds on, your fire-groove becomes an even more radical spectacle. But what to wear?
Welcome to the first installment in our ongoing series of posts focusing on the costumes of fire performers. Fire performance in its modern form is a significant gift that has been exported from our burning community to be shared with the default world via a growing number of talented performing artists.
What these artists choose to adorn themselves with while performing must often be both radically stylish and highly functional. Over the course of our series we will explore the following sub-topics:
Fire Safety vs. Style – Both the safety trade-offs when considering materials/patterns as well as the general idea of being safe vs. being fashionable.
Head Gear – The ramifications of various types of head coverings including masks, hats, and goggles.
Tool Specific Gear – How certain tools pair well with certain outfits and accessories also what things don’t go together …
Flaming Couture – Wick’d props that are worn as part of the costume! Wings, Antlers, and more!
Popular Looks – Tribal, Sexy & Mysterious, Fiery, Circusy, Playful, Bare Skin, etc …
Fire Specific Fashion Designers – Who is producing, supplying, and designing for today’s fire performers. Included under this topic will be fire performers who are also fashion designers.
