Harlequin Costumes have a long history. As early as the Middle Ages, they could be found in street and fairground theatres all over Europe. Today the spread extends from the circus, through medieval spectacles, cosplay parties and now to Hollywood via Harley Quinn.
The harlequin phenomenon comes in different forms. For example, you can find funny Jesters, the cosplay and film character Harley Quinn, correspondingly pantomime but also evil and creepy versions.
Characteristic of the Harlequin Outfit is its split garment strewn with diamonds and stripes - often in the colours black, white and red. An Eye Mask or corresponding Make-Up hides the face and sometimes a horn or a bump shows its devilish nature. Or as our party intern put it so beautifully: "A Harlequin is a clown, only cooler".
Harlequin Costumes for Women? Of course!
There is a nice selection of classic Costumes and new variants especially for Women, which are sexy, playful and cheeky all at the same time.
