Top designers will make style at the regional fashion showcase, O2N Style at O2 Park, on April 28. Designers The Cloth, Zadd & Eastman, and Heather Jones head a line-up of fashion trailblazers at what promises to be a hallmark theatrical fashion event in the Caribbean.
Staged at the open-air, multi-level, newly refurbished O2 Park, the event will feature not only local and regional designers but a multidimensional cast of stellar performing talent—Charmaine Forde, the Shiv Shakti Dance Company, Johann Chuckaree, Zakiya Gill, and Delano Manganoo.
The event is produced by the Oxygen With Nicole Foundation and chaired by Nicole Dyer-Griffith while Richard Young is the creative director. Dr Paul Richards and Renee Cummings will narrate this third instalment of the epic fashion story. The organisers said the runway collections will be rolled out in an imaginatively dynamic and dramatically versatile format.
A cast of 70 models will showcase designs from 20 fashion houses with hair by virtuoso stylists Shazz Browne, Essenese Sambury, and Daviter Powell and make-up courtesy of Jamilia Cosmetics. According to the organisers, the production will forecast trends and influence style choices for the upcoming season, spanning weddings, graduations, festivals (Indian Arrival and Emancipation), and the holiday season of July–August.
The production will raise funds for the Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago, catering primarily to children with diabetes. Corporate partners include O2 Park, Rent-A-Amp, Hyatt Regency Trinidad, One Caribbean Media, NDG Communications and Consulting, OMG Digital Media, Clinical Media Group, Kings Lounge Barber Spa, Security Analyst Services, Richard Young Inc., Jamilia Cosmetics, FashionTT, and exporTT.
