On May 29, 2014 Caribbean Fashion Style Journal will launch Colour
Revolution – a fashion event that is first of its kind in St. Maarten.
Hosted in collaboration with National Fashion Development Association (NFDA) of
St Maarten, the weekend event extends through June 1st and brings
together well-known and emerging designers from across the Caribbean to premier
their Fall/Resort 2015 lines.
“We are proud to partner with
CFStyle to deliver what is destined to be an unmatched fashion experience; the
organization expects this event to be the most sort after fashion event in the
Caribbean,” said Dylan Paul, Vice President of NFDA.
Colour Revolution includes two must-see runway shows,
four social affairs, and two designer developmental sessions.
The overall event will be preluded on Wednesday, May
28th with a mixer at 9 p.m. at 721 Scene Simpson Bay. The next
evening features the grand opening ceremony and cocktail gala at 8 p.m. at Blue
Mall.
On Friday at 9pm, Sky Beach will host a fashion party
leading up to the inaugural fashion show, “Color Elegant,” which will launch 8
p.m. on Saturday, May 31th at Maho Convention Center. Fashion
enthusiasts will then head to Tantra Night Club for an after-party sponsored by
Ciroc. The concluding fashion show “Color Resort,” is slated for 5:30 p.m. on
Sunday, June 1st at Loterie Farm.
Designers will be treated with special developmental
sessions: a workshop at 10 a.m. on Friday and a business forum at 10 a.m. on
Sunday. Both events will be hosted at the Maho Convention Center and are open to
all designers.
“Colour Revolution is more than just fashion show for
entertainment value; it is about brining together the wealth of talent in
Caribbean fashion and connecting them to the billion dollar global fashion
industry at large,” said Daniel Smith, Co-Founder of CFStyle.
Among the designers and guests at Colour Revolution
will be Donna Dove, who is based in New York; Christina Goddard from Barbados; Prajje 1983 from Haiti; and Kaj Designs from
Trinidad and Tobago.
“With St. Maarten’s strong Dutch connection this
event will open the gate between the island and the western fashion world as an
emerging market and a prime resort location,” Smith said.
Tickets for Colour Revolutions will be available for sale beginning the end of April.
