Notting Hill Carnival 2026

Discover “Heaven On Earth” when you join us on the road at Notting Hill Carnival 2026 with the UCOM Carnival family.

Elysia has its origins in ancient Greek mythology and evokes the idea of a celestial paradise. But what if paradise is not so distant or imagined? What if it already exists, here and now?

Elysia x Pure Carnival

Elysia is our ode to Mother Nature and celebrates the natural wonders of our planet. When we pause in stillness and truly look, the miracle of nature is revealed. In that moment of awe, the world around us becomes heaven on earth.

Elysia is that moment.

Born in Venezuela and raised in Trinidad, Alejandro Gomez is the creative force behind Elysia.

As one of the most sought-after costume designers, Alejandro’s creations can be seen across the Caribbean carnival landscape from Trinidad to St. Lucia, Miami to Toronto, and beyond, including multi-section work for bands like YUMA and a string of standout Monday Wear collections.

With a signature style that accentuates femininity and possesses unmistakable road presence, Alejandro brings that same energy to Pure Carnival, fusing bold silhouettes and rich colour.
