While the first Hamburg unitards look very similar to the US ones, they later changed a lot until 1998 or so after the video came out (Sillabub who was golden until then became red/purple in 1998). I think Stuttgart still used most of the old Hamburg costumes. All the new ones were defo created in-house. The Berlin costumes were produced by "aaw" ( http://www.aaw-berlin.de/index.htm ) but they might have used some of the Stuttgart and London costumes that were still available. I'm not sure where the Düsseldorf/German tour costumes were made but I guess they made their costumes in-house as well.

I read somewhere that the Russian costumes were made by a British company and then sent to Moscow. The German tent tour used most of the Dutch tour and UK tour costumes. Over the long time of the tour, they made new ones in-house.

The Asian/Australian costumes are still based on the old Australian designs but became a lot brighter. I think this happened around 1993/1994 when there was an Asian tour. But they are still made by the same people that were already responsible for the Sydney and Melbourne costumes.
