About Us

Our mission is to educate and empower our customers to be the best, boldest versions of themselves, to feel beautiful and proud of themselves in one of the world's biggest celebrations.  With a focus on environmental and social inclusion issues, Vibrance is a London-based costume and t-shirt band that produces unique, stylish and high-quality designs. 

 

We are passionate about environmental issues, incorporating recyclable and sustainable materials into our costume lines year after year. This year we are working with the Ocean Recovery Centre and Keep Britain Tidy who are donating disregarded fishing nets to help us to highlight the plight of our oceans.

 

We also take great pride in our work with Melissa Simon Hartman ( Designer to Beyonce and Doja Cat) Carl Gabriel and the late Uncle Lincoln,   We take a contemporary approach to our designs while still being heavily influenced by traditional mas. In order to ensure carnival traditions are kept alive, we use art to tell a story, tell a narrative, or convey a message.

 

Our Community work

Vibrance is committed to educating and working with young people to teach them about the history of carnival. As part of the 2019 Notting Hill procession, Vibrance worked with teenagers from the NewVic College. The students, who have a range of special needs worked with our band to join in with costume designing, making a mark at Europe's largest Carnival.

​

During Lockdown we set up competitions including the ‘Official Vibrance UK & International DJ 2021’ to keep the global carnival community uplifted and active. The judges included 1xtra and DJ Markee. UK Winners were DJ Championboss and DJ Kronixx who presented ‘Vibrance Saturday" show in the USA.

 

‘Vibrance Model 2022’ was launched to find the 'Face of Vibrance' 

 

Our Scope

Our masqueraders come from all over the world, including the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Brazil, USA, and Europe. In order to create a day of fun, laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories, we aim to bring together as many people as possible who are passionate about celebrating carnival.

 

Unity

Our procession band has more than tripled in size since we started. We are continuing to grow as a family band, where we have established a friendly and welcoming environment. By having 15% attend on their own, we have demonstrated how much we appreciate creating an open and warm atmosphere for all.
