Runway to the Islands: BENEETH SS09

Here is the footage from the fashion show at Motivation. Enjoy.

The Maroons Jkt

A couple days after the fashion show, I had some photographs taken by Ariel Wan of the 'Maroon Jkt' from my SS09 collection. This is mainly for a project that she is doing for a final, but it benefits both of us. I love the colors & angles that were created. Enjoy.

I will eventually be posting a video of the fashion show, but above are some pictures from 'Runway to the Islands' fashion show. Thanks for the pictures Kathleen. And thanks to those who were able to come out, I know it was a little tight. We even had crowds watching from outside.

This is the basic design for the fashion show flyer. There will probably be a few changes here & there, but this is the jist of it. enjoy, and feel free 2 make suggestions.

Accessories

Here are some accessories that I'm adding to the collection. They include earrings, wallet (wristlets), and hooded scarfs which will be for sale in limited numbers.

postcard images

Here are some possible postcard images for the gallery showing. I'm planning to go with the image with the embroidered 'Beneeth' script. Thanks for the photo Roberto.

some new ish

Here are some new designs for some dress/tank tops.

Currently I'm working on a double breasted lapel jacket that flares at the bottom, as well as a collared button-up, and hooded scarfs.

Here is a tee shirt that is featured in the collection. It has kid's faces from Haiti, Jamaica, and other countries in the Caribbean in the shape of a tribal/geometric pattern. The pattern will continue on to a small section of the back & will have "out of many, one people" embroidered on the back of the shoulder.

military style jacket

I recently finished the military style jacket. It is double breasted & can be worn closed or buttoned over, exposing the inner lining print. The inside bears the phrase "STOP sky larking and mash up di competition", which is patois (Jamaican dialect) for "STOP day dreaming (wasting time) and destroy your competition".
