FASHION QUEENS. It was pure glitz and glamour last night
when the Cave Shepherd Barbados Fashion week was officially launched at
Hilton Barbados. And those attending got a piece of advice from Minister
of Commerce, Consumer Affairs and Business Development, Lynette Eastmond,
who told them to take themselves seriously as this sector was a money
earner.
Fashion Week starts today at Sherbourne Conference Centre
with a runway show at 8 p.m. and it continues tomorrow and Sunday.
Some of Barbados' leading models are from left: Eleazar 'Ellie' Jeremie,
Chanelle King, Zina Gibbs, Sarah Collins and Lee-Ann Carter.
Caribbean Fashion Week , held in Kingston
Jamaica last year proved conclusively to all who attended that Caribbean
Fashion is thriving.
Showing collections that covered everything
from funk to fabulous, the designers thrilled the packed audiences
night after night, and it wasn't just the fashions that impressed.
The line-up of Caribbean models, including popular
international models Jaunelle, Lene and Nadine, met an enthusiastic
response from the appreciative audience.
A total of 48 designers were showcased during Caribbean
Fashion Week 2004.
Caribzones attended the Saturday night shows to
bring you a selection of the designers featured in those three collections,
including the special guest collection of Jessica Ogden.
