E

xtending the opportunity to the Caribbean to excel in the fashion world is always welcome. There are very talented designers who are over- looked needless to say striking exotic faces in the minority from the Caribbean breaking into the international fashion industry. 

The decision to scout models from Trinidad and Tobago specifically opened the eyes of the coordinator of The New York Fashion Gallery because the potential is being recognized. September 2014 show during the world renowned New York fashion Week will be grand. It will leave an everlasting impression by utilizing Caribbean diaspora designers simultaneously with T&T models. Especially following the current footsteps of Trinidad's fashion designer Anya Ayoung-Chee (Project Runway Winner 2012).

After years of New York being one of the fashion meccas of the world the world is seemingly looking to integrate hints of different cultures into their outlook to fashion. Therefore the world should see more of batik, tie dyes and resort collections which essentially are summer hot attention grabbers. New York get ready for the touch of what we call "melted pots" of Caribbean Spiced Fashion.

Zanté encourages feters to “STRUT” while partying for a purpose

Thursday, February 20, 2014

A

s the greatest show on earth, Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival draws near, the producers of the premium all inclusive Carnival event Zanté are extending the invitation to the Soca loving public to come party with them while supporting the Kidney Recipient Support Group of T&T.

According to Pixi, “Throughout my brother’s stay in the San Fernando General Hospital, members of the Kidney Recipient Support Group of T&T were quite helpful in providing necessary information. Had Lester survived, there would’ve been a long period of dialysis and other treatment prior to him receiving a kidney transplant. This is Zanté’s way of saying thank you to the members of the group. They need funding to continue their much needed work”.

 

With a worthy cause, noble fundraising mission and elegant theme of ‘STRUT’ the 2014 edition of Zanté is expected attract to attract a fun-loving crowd of stylish, conscious-minded partiers. The premium all-inclusive affair will feature a unique mix of signature gourmet food offerings as well as top-shelf beverage options inclusive of the fete’s trademark ‘Pixi-juice’.

Additionally, Zanté will offer its local and foreign-based patrons pulsating music from top local DJs Private Ryan, Nuphoric and Kaotic and performances by Soca stars Lyrikal and 5 Star Akil.

About the Kidney Recipient Support Group of T&T

The Kidney Recipient Support Group of T&T is headed by President Courtney Tyson.

They have been in existence since 2009 and the membership is made up of past kidney recipients. The group is active in assisting patients that need a kidney transplant and supports them through the process before, during and after the operation. They are also dedicated to creating general awareness about kidney disease; causes and preventative measures.
