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 [...]

She’s gorgeous though. Miss Nia Long also came down the catwalk for [...]

Ndjamena Caprice from Guadeloupe

Jun 19th, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Caribbean Fashion Week, Non-J'can Designers

Don’t ask me to pronounce the name but the collection was pretty…pretty colourful! I must admit I really love all the colour that is coming from the runways this season and Ndjamena capitalized on this trend with bright, cheery pieces. Very flowy, very Caribbean, very cool…or maybe I should say very HOT. See the collection [...]
