CFW 2011- Night Two

I arrived at CFW on Saturday night way too late to have gotten any real pics or to provide any commentary on what happened on the runway, (I hardly had time to find my ass at a party) but I sauntered through-out the crowd and got pics of everything else.

Not everyone stayed for the performances toward the end, but those that did, went quickly to the front to gyrate to the music of soca-star Machel Montano

And last but not least, here I am with supermodel, and friend Jeneil Williams :)

I'll have plenty of runway coverage for the next post.- DW

CFW 2010

It's that time of year again- Caribbean Fashion Week! Kingston city was abuzz with activities within the fashion elite as we all gathered for cocktails, accreditation and registration, press conferences, fittings and of course fabulous parties. Last night was the first night of shows, and David Andre from Haiti, Mutamba, Veve (also from Haiti) as well as quite a few others wowed us with some really eye-catching designs and accessories. But more on that later. For now, here's some images of everything i've attended thus far. Enjoy!

Here's the scene at the press conference. Head table included CEO of Pulse Investment Ltd, Kingsley Cooper, international top models Oraine Barrett and Sedene Blake, Haitian designer David Andre, main sponsor representatives, and Haiti-born, pop singer Katia Cadet
