Fashion is in the air and blowing like a hurricane from south to north in the space of a fortnight!
Even though Fashion Week Trinidad & Tobago wrapped up on June 2, there is still so much to show and tell from that long weekend of fabulous Caribbean fashion.
This is all the moreso because the folks at our new favourite fashion blog, CF Style have been working... hard! I am exhausted just looking at the amount of photo footage and interviews they got out of FWTT - it is an impressive show of dedication to Caribbean fashion.
Anyhow, here are a few of our picks from FWTT.

Fashion Week T&T gets underway
So Fashion Week Trinidad and Tobago is underway and so far the few reports we are getting in are mixed.
Basically in a nutshell - love the clothes, hate the congestion.
That has been the consensus from both Caribbean Fashion Style Journal and Judette Coward-Puglisi's 5 a.m. at Mango Media blogs.
The folks at CFStyle were not happy about some of the organisational glitches on the opening night - they had issues with getting accreditation, ticket-holders could not get into the event because it was full and the traffic scene outside of the Hyatt was federation, apparently.
For her part, Judette noted that the pre-event cocktail ceremony was in a too-small room, leading guests to feel 'claustrophobic' and designers were forced to stand because there was not enough seating.
However, both were agreed that the show itself - which is of course what it is all about - was sizzling.
CFStyle described it as a "tight and hitchless showing" while Judette declared that:
We have gotten a glimpse of some of the pics from CFStyle, including Heather Jones fantastic wedding collection and thus far we would have to agree. But what do you think?

"[The] debut night of FWTT was so hot, it practically caused a fire with all the Caribbean style, fresh faces and nubile bodies."

Trini fashion doyenne Claudia Pegus mugged
Shocking and yet not shocking news out of Trinidad this weekend just past, islandistas.
I know you all know of Claudia Pegus, the Trinidadian designer and one of the grand dames of Caribbean fashion.
On Friday night, she and her assistants were held up at gunpoint in her atelier in Trinidad (not in Barbados, as the Observer's Tatler column claimed) and robbed as they were preparing for Fashion Week Trinidad and Tobago which starts on Friday.
Over on Mango Media Caribbean's 5 a.m. blog, they have the (pretty harrowing) details.
