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.
