Design by Jay McCarroll – Islands Fashion Week 

Islands of the World Fashion Week in Nassau Bahamas was and still is my most memorable fashion week. That’s not to say I haven’t seen innovative designs in London and across the Caribbean, but it was the general experience that sits high on my list so I am pleased to hear it’s back after a one-year hiatus. Re-named as Islands of the World Fashion Showcase (IWFS), I am also pleased to announce that our very own Sub-Editor/Fashion Designer Darcel de Vlugt will be showing her label Van der Vlugt at the two day event hosted at the Sherton Nassau Beach Resort in May. Even I have no idea what Darcel has up her sleeve, but if you  judge by this gorgeous one-off leather corset she designed for me, it’s going to be constructed very well.

Just like the premier event the organisers have focused on the experience and entertainment. There will be a fashionable bowling face-off with models, designers and fashionistas  and a host of parties at beautiful locations. I can hardly forget the showcase at Atlantis Resort  and the closing party at the unimaginable Nygard Cay.

Just for the experience I recommend press, photographers and emerging designers to check out Islands of the World Fashion Showcase in Nassau, Bahamas.
