Fashion in Jamaica and the region exists, much to my annoyance, almost outside of an international aesthetic. It's my desire, then, to build a bridge between what is innately cultural, and the international industry, all the while highlighting trends and shifts within both spheres.

Cassie- Fashion's Newest Designer
After Cassie ordered clothes off sportswear label DimePiece's website, the brand wrote her back and suggested they collaborate. Cassie, in typical celebrity fashion, said yes. Her DimePiece collection will include only black and white clothes. So far she's only designed T-shirts and tank tops. But according to People, "there will be nothing basic" about those.
Being one of three female singers (all notably black) to have shaved off their heads recently in search of personal reinvention, Cassie has been in the blog and media spotlight receiving flak and praises for her new look. In a recent interview, she claims "When I did the hairstyle, I hadn’t seen it on anyone else. It was just crazy, punk, off the wall."
