The silly hustle is back after a two-year corona break. The “Krone” was looking for the current trends in carnival.
Finally celebrating carnival again, like it used to be or before the virus this year. The “Krone” inquired about this year’s trends at the Carnival Prince, one of the country’s largest costume shops and Viennese institution.
There is already a large crowd in the morning. “Costumes from the successful Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Squid Game’ are in great demand,” explains saleswoman Sandra, unpacking an orange jumpsuit for a customer, it is a guard of “Squid Game”.
Ex-chairman of the municipal council: ‘Maybe allowed to be a child again’
But the arc ranges from Netflix series to ancient times, which is celebrating its renaissance. This is how pharaohs, Greek gods and Roman goddesses come to life again. In the store we meet an ex-chairman of the school board. This year he wows friends like Queen Elizabeth II at a private Gschnas. We ask him to slip into the royal costume for a photo. “Don’t do it now!” says his wife energetically. So the retired politician remains anonymous to us. “You know, the nice thing about carnival is that you can escape the daily grind and be a kid again for a few hours,” he adds. But more and more big fools also want animals, disguising themselves as plush dogs or lions. Others ask for masks for the Carnival of Villach or for the Carnival of Venice.
Still magically appealing to the younger generation is the most famous sorcerer’s apprentice of the 21st century. “This has to do with the current Harry Potter exhibitions,” says Ms. Sandra. Spider-Man and Batman remain the favorites among the little heroes, just like the princess among the girls.
By the way, horror faces staring at us as we tour the store are out right now. There’s enough scary news in the world. . .
