Whether by coincidence or some poorly publicized organizing, we seem to be in the middle of an unofficial fashion week in Trinbago. J.Angelique, Noor, CLD and Modett have had shows this week, giving us insight to what designers are coaching our women to wear.
White Out
Maybe it's the heat that has designers fixated on white. This very sophisticated neutral looks best on rich skin tones and definitely is the best choice for cooling down in the island heat. We have seen mostly creamy whites on cotton, but J.Angelique embraced a brighter tone for her interesting slant on bridal with the Reception Collection.

Seemingly random prints with overlapping geometric and tribal pattern in bright colours- a bit of a mouthful and and eyeful, but on column dresses and other clean silhouettes, it works.

Sheer the love
Unlined and transparent lace and chiffon give more than just a peek at underlying bare skin.

Fancy Pants
With the go -to outfit having long been a fancy frock, designers are embracing pants by making them the highlight of the look. We are seeing more and more flowy wrapped trousers and sleek jumpsuits.

Cape diem
Elegant and strong, and thought only suitable for cooler climates until now, capes have come to Trinidad. In sheers and even jersey, these accessories are a bold statement that can elevate even the simplest looks.
