Fashion Caribbean 2017
St. Vincent & The Grenadines
Produced by Image Modelling Agency (SVG)
Ltd, Fashion Caribbean is a two-day fashion
event held in St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
Since 2001, Fashion Caribbean has been the
forum to showcase to the Vincentian public,
the talents of Caribbean designers and
Vincentian models.
Fashion Caribbean has been featured in many
publications, including Caribbean LookBook,
Shabeau Magazine, SHE Caribbean, Zing:
LIAT’s inflight magazine and is listed on the
National Calendar of events for St Vincent and
the Grenadines - a great achievement for the
Agency.
This March, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Community College came alive to showcase
over sixteen designers on the Fashion
Caribbean 2017 runway. Designers came from
Antigua, British Virgin Islands, Trinidad and
host country St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The show also featured their Fresh Face of
Fashion segment, where emerging designers
showcased their mini collections for the
very first time. Reine du Chic by Chenise
Hendrickson, E.N.V.E. by Rachel Bailey and
Estilo by Olecia Lynch, who showcased full
collections in the 2017 event were Fresh
Face Designers in 2016. Fashion Caribbean
was happy to show their progression on the
runway. A trunk show was held on the Sunday
following the event, where the public was able
to meet and greet the various desingers and
also shop the collections.
2017 also marked the 20th anniversary of the
Image Modelling Agency which made this
2017 fashion event even more special to them
and they took time to celebrate the founding
members, including Monique Arthur, the
Managing Director who created the Modelling
Agency 20 years ago. To conclude the 20th
year anniversary celebrations, Mr. Macho, a
male model competition and fashion show
