Before I get to Fashionblock, here’s the video Socialingua put together of International Mecca of Style. Take a look at what I was talking about, i.e. models tripping all over together and all that.

Style Week Day 2

Jun 8th, 2009 | By Irie Diva | Category: StyleWeek Jamaica

I’m not sure how Saint actually justifies the name Style “Week” since the events were held on Saturday and Sunday (Friday was only the club launch,) but oh wells. On Saturday they merged two events together, The International Mecca of Style and the Men’s Collections. They were held at Fort Charles, Port Royal. Enter annoyance [...]

There was a high-profile launch at the Pure Lounge in New Kingston and I collaborated with SociaLingua.Com …or more like they told me it would be a good idea to do some videa blogging and I agreed…Lord knows why, I dunno if I’m cut out for [...]

African Connection by Gary Codner

Jun 20th, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Caribbean Fashion Week, Jamaican Designers

You know…the Cooyah guy…yeah that’s him. Cooyah was…maybe still is the biggest, most recognizable t-shirt brand in Jamaica. At one point supply could not meet demand and people were getting tired of seeing the same designs everywhere and so its rep has somewhat dwindled. Therefore, when I heard about Gary Codner, who’s in part responsible [...]
