Islands of the World Fashion Week will take place at the historic British Colonial Hilton Hotel in Nassau, and the world-renowned Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. The four-day event will showcase both established and new designers originating from islands around the globe.
According to Ms. Etuk there have already been expressions of interest, and submissions of applications by designers from Bermuda, Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Fiji, Grenada, Indonesia, Jamaica, Madagascar, St. Croix, St. Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago, and The Bahamas. She indicated that the number of designers allowed to present at this inaugural event will be limited to 15 – 20.
She also stated that several international guest designers, from non-island nations, have also committed to participate. The event, supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO), will be used to highlight the themes of cultural diversity, the environment and climate change, the education of youth on HIV/AIDS, and poverty alleviation, particularly as they impact islands.
