I thought Max Aaron's Tron was cool.
Here's the real Tron.

Another masculinity/femininity tangent? This is really offensive, especially the part about it being okay for gay men to wear flashier costumes. So long as it is allowed by the rules, skaters should wear whatever they please regardless of whether they are gay, straight, bisexual, transgender or cisgender. men should not be obliged to conform to some rigid, traditional notion of masculinity (the same goes for women and standards of femininity). How is it possible that this is still a subject for discussion?tron is tacky but his simple LP costume for West Side Story is cool, casual and not filled with girlish details. I like when skaters wore more reserved outfits-esp men's singles. I just like Aaron's Elvis like masculine vibe. I hate Hanyu's LP look. Ugh-too feminine. He is flamboyant. I liked Dick Buttons look. If a skater is gay its fine, but am I alone in like men to look masculine? It seems Ice dance [irst went wild then other disciplines followed. When did things change?
I find Aaron's Tron costume rather too literal, but at least he's trying to do his own thing.
I always love Akiko Suzuki's costumes and this year's peacock dress is amazing. Kiira Korpi is another lady with gorgeous costumes - it's not just that she wears them well, I like the use of different colors, and she would never wear anything tacky. Someone like her could have just worn boring princessy stuff to go with her classic beauty, but she doesn't go for that sort of thing at all. Love her LP dress and the SP one is good, too.
I adore Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte's SD costumes, they are so cute and fit the program well; I was also a fan of their FD costumes last season. Staying in ice dance, I like Tessa Virtue's FD dress - an edgier dress for an edgier Carmen.

His ponytail doesn't have anything to do with anything. And his costumes are normally really good - his SP one last year was fantastic. This year his costumer seems to have taken leave of her senses.
Max Aaron's LP outfit is as dead imagination-wise as every other part of his skating. It should come with loud speakers blaring, in a flat monotone, "I am skating to West Side Story". There's the kind of minimalism that's a refinement of complex ideas into an elegant form. Then there's the minimalism that's just laziness. Which is what Aaron's costumes go for in his SP and LP. And that also seems to be the philosophy in his skating.
Once again folks, a "ponytail" for a guy is called an attitude. I have to say I find his ponytail not helpful to creating a look or any artistic value.
OMG, LOVE this...and love the green. Who designs for her?
Kiira's costumes are designed by Teemu Muurimäki, Finnish designer. He has designed her costumes for many years, probably since... 08/09? Not sure about the years, but many seasons anyway. Always a pleasure!
