MACHEL SANDY

achel Sandy a very vibrant and positive person took the opportunity to be
interviewed and his excitement grew when I asked him the first question.
How it all started? He responded without hesitation by proudly exclaiming
his mother is his main influence. Machel as a young boy among a dominantly female home was eager to learn from his mother’s natural gift. He admired his mother’s craft as one of the best wedding seamstress in Guyagagri. His love for fashion budded
when he took his mother scraps of cloth and created his own ideas of creation. Apart from
his mother his sister was quite active in the fashion and pageant world (Miss Trinidad & Tobago 2000) who also is his role model. It was at that pageant Machel felt motivated after
meeting Heater Jones & Peter Elias for the first time.
