Three weeks ago, I visited the Mode Museum (Momu) Fashion Museum in Antwerp to see the Footprint Exhibition.

It has been approximately one month since I have been in Belgium and exactly one week since I tied the knot with my partner of four years.

As fashion month winds down, the dominance of certain faces opening and closing the runways remains the same.

From That Look Boutique’s last editorial featuring Lieve Blanckaert and Kimberly Niles, I decided to select the trends that I thought were cute and questionable.

As fashion month swings into top gear, as usual, there is a designer who goes viral.

I was browsing YouTube the other day and came across a video of H&M promoting the notion of re-fashioning and re-wearing the clothes in your wardrobe.

It was Miuccia Prada who said fashion is an instant language.

I was in conversation earlier this week with a friend of mine and I was relating to her the frustration of being stylish in a world where fashion has become ‘dog cheap’.

A few weeks ago Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan would have enforced the 2 am cap on nightlife.

Just last week over in Port of Spain, Anya Ayoung Chee’s establishment HOMETT played host to an event called Fashion Focus.

Ageing worries me. They say your style evolves with time but the thought of getting old still scares me.

Far too often in the fashion industry we override certain developments and movements because fashion has this crazy partisan attitude attached to it.

Not too many female dancehall artists in the Caribbean have managed to acquire a social media following like Spice and establish stable brand identity.

It’s been just over a month since the new government has been in power and boy oh boy was I dying to see the wardrobe of the new President!

Not many are aware that the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) actually has a fashion school attached to it.

It’s impossible to get dressed and not think of what other people may think of your outfit, especially if you happen to be a fashion conscious person.

We have become fixated with using the word “summer” for the months July and August and having adapted the season terminology, we also take everything that comes with it.

I got the chance to style Lisa Punch again last Saturday for the Swearing-In Ceremony for President David Granger.

During the course of the election season, I played stylist to Lisa’s image for her rally appearances.

This week my focus is on the style diary of the women who performed at the GDF Anniversary concert last week: Guyanese Jacki Jaxx and Timeka Marshal and Jamaican Tanya Stephens.
