Barbados has a thriving fashion industry and brings across a large contingent of models, designers, buyers and personalities each year to CFW. I’ve already shown you the casual designs of 3rd Revolt, now Ashakai brings us swimsuits, Bouik brings swimsuits as well as some funk and some sophistication and Luna brings us some the most beautiful non-metal jewelery I’ve seen.

Ashakai

Kerri you missed Chris! The Bajan models were hot…

Bouik started with dancers blazing the catwalk

Then came with the funk

And ooooohhhh I love me some Luna

Entire collections can be viewed here .

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 here.

Ok, time for some casuals. 3rd Revolt designed by Craig Yearwood from Barbados brought some urban flavour to the catwalk. The pieces were cute…but what made them really stand out was the styling…the boots and accessories were on FYAH! Perfect examples of how to spice up a tank and tee to wear to out ladies…and I was def’ feeling the colours on the comfortable, casual wear for the guys.

Nia Long and Nadine Willis

When I saw the different pieces from Claudia Pegus’ line [Trinidad and Tobago] at Pulse’s Caribbean Fashion Week this Sunday, all that ran through my head was "wow…I could see Carrie in that." You’ll have to forgive me, I’m still a little high from the movie itself…but the dresses were BEAUTIFUL! And the lil hats angled on the side? OH that’s so CARRIE!!!! The line was fabulously glamorous from the accessories and the hats to the shoes and it brought out the most celebrities walking for one designer. It was mega packed from supermodel Jaunel McKenzie opening the line, former Gucci model Nadine Willis rocking the runway with baby stroller in tow plus international stars Vanessa Williams, Mashonda and Nia Long all taking the catwalk by storm. Claudia got a very warm welcome when she took the catwalk herself for her amazing line.

Alot of these pics are horribly shaky…please forgive…but I do have good video of the final walk to make-up for it!

Vanessa Williams and Mashonda
