The Trinidad experience A Fabulous Fashion Parade By Giselle La Ronde-West Giselle La Ronde-West Fashion Week in Trinidad and Tobago was no ordinary display of talent. It was an exceptional event that showcased the tremendous creative ability of the people of the nation. From May 29 to June 2, the Hyatt Regency Trinidad in Port of Spain was all about lights, camera and action, with twenty designers displaying their clothes on the beautiful bodies of our talented models. Hyatt welcomed the crème de la crème of the fashion and entertainment world each day, bringing a great deal of excitement their way. The dazzling array of colour and use of natural fabrics by the designers was in keeping with the theme, Save our Earth, Live Green. Despite the glitz and glamour of each evening, the clothes took on natural tones and hues. The designers were careful to bring home the theme throughout the entire week. The opening of the event started on the Friday, with a dance about Mother Earth conquering the evils of the earth—pollution and other human destruction. It set the tone for that first evening, which featured designers Heather Jones, DLR “D,” Fariiworld, Michael’s Vogue Designs, Sonia Mack, Millhouse menswear, Brown Sugar and CPFS. Heather’s designs were as usual, vibrant and striking, while Michael’s Vogue Designs had an avant-garde twist to them, and Sonia Mack, the Haute Couture designs of Trinidad and Tobago. The St. Kitts outfit by Judith Rawlins aka Brown Sugar, presented freedom of movement with a contrast of bold and subtle. The swimsuit section designed by Christian Boucaud, was very stark and daring, putting an interesting edge on the Sunday evening’s show, along with Zadd and Eastman, M Squared, Peter Elias and Kimya Glasgow. That evening, Anya Ayoung Chee, former Ms. Trinidad and Tobago (Ms. Universe representative), introduced her first offering to the Fashion world, in her line called Pilar, named after her brother who died tragically. This was an interesting presentation that showcased a wide variety and combination of colour. However, it was Peter Elias’s burst of colour that captivated the audience. On June 1, the introduction of yet another new line was seen. The well-known entertainer, Machel Montano, offered his line of kids’ wear called Boy Boy, which followed from his recent concert and book launch of the same name. This presentation was different and fresh with all the children coming out in various designs of pants, skirts and trousers, all in white cotton with different coloured Boy Boy T-shirts. It was a breath of fresh air after all the colour and adult models. He showed alongside Radical Designs, Mariska’s, Stacy Smith Designs, Simply Garnett’s, Earth member for Life and the unmistakable styles of Claudia Pegus. The second year of Fashion Week in Trinidad and Tobago was memorable. The Hyatt Regency was an ideal location, with its high ceilings and competent staff. It was a great opportunity for new, established and rediscovering designers to come together to show off their talents to a very eager and interested audience. Everyone anxiously awaits the start of Fashion Week 2010. 54 The Ins & Outs of Trinidad and Tobago
