After a weeklong postponement, the highly anticipated official start of CFW (Caribbean Fashion Week) in the beautiful island of Jamaica kicks off today! From June 15-21st, Kingston, Jamaica will be host to not only an entourage of creative designers from throughout the caribbean and beyond, but the tropical playground to some of the worlds most beautiful people! Representing such island countries as T&T, Haiti, Barbados, and sweet Jamaica herself, the talent being housed under the canapy of gently swaying palm trees, warm evening sunsets, and white sandy beaches carries an inspiration all its own. Even France, Romania and Germany will be in the house to show their stuff for the world to see. With many of the established European design houses pulling on the traditional style and urban flair of the West Indian culture, is it any surprise why this annual event has risen to such status in the fashion industry over the years? From David Andrea, Meiling, and Yardmanstyle, to Mutumba, Posh Punk, and Milkaya Laijah, the fashions walking down the runway the next few days are sure to be nothing less than FAB-U-LOUS!
In celebration of all our native West Indian designers who have made America their home, and to those who the gentle island winds have dispersed across the four corners of the world, J&O offers a colorful selection of raw organics, textured African , traditional Oriental and tropical prints, as well as decadant dress fabrics, sultry satins, and funky suedecloth to inspire your designs and nurture your creativity in ways reminiscent of a lifestyle rich in tradition and history. Share your island flavor with the rest of the world 365 at J&O Fabrics!
