The Caribbean’s Mecca of Style, Kingston Jamaica is poised for another exciting Fashion Season for the 15th staging of Style Week Jamaica 2019.
Style Week Jamaica is organized by the leading model agency in the Caribbean SAINT International. The event will be held from May 15 – 19 and promises to be even more spectacular than last year as the agency will be bringing in the team from the Fashion Institute of Technology who will play an integral role in the Fashion Symposium event. This year the Embassy of Nigeria under the patronage of Her Excellency Janet Omoleegho Olisa Ambassador of Nigeria to Jamaica has retained its partnership with the Saint brand where they assisted a young model discovered on Instagram to live her dream of becoming a model and “make magic” as described by Saint International Principal Deiwght Peters.
This year, there will be an emphasis on putting Jamaica’s creative talent on the map through their partnership with Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) by providing talented designers will the necessary resources they need to be successful and stand among some of the world’s most successful and well-known Fashion Designers.
According to JBDC’s Deputy CEO, Harold Davis at the recent launch on the Rooftop of Eden Gardens Wellness Resort & Spa:
