I’ve gotten two press releases recently that shared some very exciting information. There will be a showing of Caribbean collections at this year’s London Fashion Week and five Jamaicans are among the lot!

This info popped into my inbox early this morning and I decided to check it out shortly before my usual Saturday supermarket run. Keneea and Camesha were some of the first local designers that supported me and my idea of having a fashion blog, inviting me to all their fashion shows and doings interviews with me back when most people didn’t know what a blog was and didn’t want to work with a small fry like myself. I love their designs and I’m happy that both continue to make great fashion, expanding Jamaican’s offerings. They inspire me to pursue my own.

Lubica launches new line

I am a fan of Lubica’s designs. She really knows her way ’round some jersey material. Her signature style of jersey dresses with a bold applique continues in her work. I saw some updates floating across my twitter timeline that she recently launched a new line so I headed over to her website to see what was new. Allow me to share with you my favourite pieces from her.

Rep JA accent still going strong

Posted by IrieDiva on Jul 9, 2010 in Jamaican Designers | 3 comments

I did an article on Rep JA tees way back in 2008 and I feel good that I can come back 2 years later and report that the brand is still going strong. T-shirt brands come and go in Jamaica like bulla and pear so maybe the fact that theyre not actually based in Jamaica is helping some but I’m sure its because they’re putting in the work! I don’t know these guys, have never met them but I sing their praises because I like to see longevity in Jamaican fashion because its a field I strive to be in and we are such a creative people that I really think our fashion industry should be much larger than it is even now.

Anuna by Tami and Lubica

I was excited when I heard that Tami Chynn and Lubica would be coming together to put out a line because I’ve always loved Lubica’s dresses and Tami does have a good fashion sense…whether that’s all her or a stylist you never know but she’s always put together in my book. I was even more excited when Lubica said in a recent interview that there would be pieces in the line that those of the “fluffy” persuasion can wear ’cause well, you know…I’m still battling the baby bulge. However………….I’ve been disappointed. The line itself is fabulous, I do wish I could don a piece or few…but I see one, maybe two pieces that would work on me.
