From The Islands, With Love

From the Islands, With Love is a love letter to Barbados, a place that has shaped not only my identity but also my creative vision as a designer. Barbados isn’t just my home; it’s a place of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and resilient people. From the crystal-clear beaches that whispered tranquility into my childhood, to the mystical gullies and botanical wonders that taught me resilience, every aspect of the island has contributed to the fabric of this collection.

The design decisions in this line are deeply rooted in my experiences growing up on the island. I've incorporated elements that reflect the vibrant energy of the streets: the bustling fish markets, the fruit vendors, and the vibrant cityscape where tradition meets modernity. These influences come together in a fusion of streetwear and island wear, blending the structure and boldness of denim and twill with the light, flowing elegance of cotton and spandex to create a sexy, island-inspired women's wear collection.

This work is more than just fashion; it's a celebration of the warmth and spirit of the people of Barbados. It's a tribute to the beauty of our beaches, the pride of Barbados flower, the local food, and the rum that has become iconic to our culture. Every piece in this collection reflects the strength, creativity, and vibrancy of Caribbean life, celebrating diversity and individuality.

Through this project, I invite you to see Barbados through my eyes—a place where beauty, culture, and tradition flow into every design, and where fashion becomes a storytelling experience.
