ECO-friendly and
culturally relevant fashions, vibrant colours, and a
beautiful array of exquisite textures were on display as
the Islands of the World Fashion Week was held at the
Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort last week.
Fashionistas
were presented with pure artistry, as this year's fashion
week featured bold colour palettes and strong, yet
intricate lines.
Kicking off fashion week
was the Muse Model Search competition with the 16
finalists strutting down the catwalk in the designers'
creations.
It was Bahamian Kendrick
Kemp who won the Muse Model title in the male category and
Giovara Geertriuda of Curacao who won for the women.
Following the Muse Model
Search, the newest and hottest creations from Bahamian
designers such as Phylicia Ellis, Sabrina Sturrup and
Kevin Evans were unleashed, giving fashion enthusiasts a
glimpse of what trends to expect for the upcoming season.
Cocktail dresses took
the lead, dominating the runways.
A satin coffee cocktail
dress with sexy criss-cross details that accentuated the
back was a special highlight.
There was also something
for the men, and it was all about accentuating the waist.
The pret-á-porter, or ready-to-wear, portion of the show
also highlighted men's wear.
The male models took to
the runway in designer suits by Kevin Evans, which clearly
made the statement that they are to be worn by men of
today who are knowledgeable, confident, self-aware and
innovative. The male models worked pinstripe as well as
linen suits in a variety of bold colours.
This segment came to a
close with designer Kevin Evans stepping onto the runway
and giving a wave of gratitude and satisfaction as his
adoring fans applauded.
Fashion week ended with
designs in swim wear, casual and evening wear in dark
colours that captured the very essence of Fall fashion.
