Ozgen..just fabulous dancer and teacher
His own design I believe.
Most male dancers do end up at least influencing the design of our costumes - its not like you can go out and buy them (or the tops at least) off the rack like you gals can!
Where was this?
Some male dancers get their costumes specially made, I remember one in Holland who had the most amazing costumes. I think he got them made in Turkey because some of his costumes looked a bit like Bella's
Our male dancers seem to have no problem. I believe Khaled gets some from Aida Nour and MandyT here on OD has made him some very successful costumes.
Ozgen has a similar blue costume to this one. Obviously his designs reflect the fact he is Turkish and as male dancers are more usual there I assume he has no problem. His belts are always the typical deep fringed V.
Shafeek is another who has a number of successful costumes
No arguments. I'm just sayin' that we have to make/design/cause to be made our costumes, we can't go to Dahlal and buy one off the rack - more's the pity as I *LOVE* many of {insert costume vendor here}'s costumes, but don't have the requisite anatomy to wear them!
