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.

Donna Karan Spring 2012
In what is sure to be one of the best moment during New York Fashion Week, Donna Karan's Spring 2012 hit all the right notes. Said to be inspired by Haiti, the collection was all about bold African tribalism, but with a sophisticated and very urban twist.
I loved how some of the pieces seemed to have been actually painted, rather than stitched, with broad brush strokes. Mask-faces even seemed to even pop out of some of the dresses. A very confident and bold collection from Karan, as always.
