San Fernando Fashion Week, Trinidad

Come June, San Fernando’s fashion designers will get a chance to display their talents and creativity at the San Fernando Fashion Week, which will be staged over a three day period from June 24 to 26 . San Fernando will be turned into the fashion capital of Trinidad.

The brainchild of designer Deron Attz and his company Simpli Smooth Productions, San Fernando Fashion week is celebrating its fifth year of existence. The theme this year is “Passion for Fashion” and the event will see the merging of designers, cutters/ stitchers and the retailers in a one-day workshop shop for expansion of the local fashion industry.  


On June 25, garment constructor, hair dressers, make up artiste, jewelry makers, craftsmen, retailers/buyers and designers are invited to the Talk Shop/Work Shop at Allison’s Royalty Plaza coffee street, San Fernando. 

The public will have the opportunity to witness this fashion weekend on June 26. It will be hosted at the Paria Suite Hotel & Conference Centre and will include a wealth of local and foreign designers . This will be a red carpet affair where patrons are encouraged to hit the red carpet in local designer’s clothing.

San Fernando Fashion Week 2011 is geared towards bringing new works by new designers to the forefront as well as people who have a talent and have never been given that chance to show in an event such as Fashion Week, in the hope that they may expand their clientele and also show the level of their work. Some of the designers showing at this year’s show are Meiling , Heather Jones, Ayna Ayoung-Chee, Ecliff Elie, Deron Attzs, Peter Elias, Saleem Samuel, Nel Exclusive Designs, UTT Academy, Rodney Alexander, Ashley Christmas (Tobago), Toxic Boutique, Passion Fruit Designs (Canada), David Rolle (Bahamas) and Miricle Hands Designs (Guyana).
