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.

Michael Kors Spring 2012
Claiming his inspiration came from Africa this season, the collection from Michael Kors was absolutely perfect; I couldn't spot a bum piece through-out. Some pieces like the male sarong might prove a bit of a hard sell with the typical Kors man, but with some awesome accessories, the collection should prove a big hit at retail.
The prints were gorgeous and bright, evoking the shade of an African peninsula at times, at other times wild life. This was a collection that although playing into the whole cliché of Africa being romanticised by Westerners, (especially given the recent drought in Somalia) proves that the continent, as a point of reference can be powerful.
