Machel Sandy a very vibrant and positive person
took the opportunity to be interviewed and his excitement grew when I asked him
the first question. How it all started? He responded without hesitation by
proudly exclaiming his mother is his main influence. Machel as a young boy
among a dominantly female home was eager to learn from his mother’s natural
gift. He admired his mother’s craft as one of the best wedding seamstress in
Guyagagri. His love for fashion budded when he took his mother scraps of cloth
and created his own ideas of creation. Apart from his mother his sister was
quite active in the fashion and pageant world (Miss Trinidad & Tobago 2000)
who also is his role model. It was at that pageant Machel felt motivated after
meeting Heater Jones & Peter Elias for the first time.

Machel’s first design was
constructed at age 13 for his cousin’s graduation. Thereafter, he added his
designs to his village Emancipation shows, Cari Vogue. It was not long after he
became passionate about designing for pageants which out of four pageants he
captured three best evening gowns. Machel got so excited talking about his
journey he said the audience reaction to his pieces is what motivates him.
