ANYA AYOUNG-CHEE AT NYFW 2011
Unless you live under a rock, you should have noticed that almost everyone from the Caribbean is well attuned to and buzzing about Trinidadian designer Anya Ayoung-Chee's inclusion to the cast of the 2011 installment of Lifetime Network's Project Runway. The beauty queen/graphic artist/stylist/designer power combo that is Anya Ayoung-Chee attended the Women Inspiration Enterprise (WIE) Symposium in New York City on Monday, from where she tweeted her excitement about the fashion icons she was surrounded by at the auspicous event; One of whom was the legendary American fashion designer Donna Karan. She tweeted:
As the excitement grew, Ayoung-Chee later added:
More and more, through designer showcases, musical artistes, modeling and other talents the world is becoming aware of the extraordinary talents and capabilities that abound in Trinidad and Tobago. This year alone, the world got a taste of what the island has to offer as celebrated musical artist Nicki Minaj shot to record breaking fame, Kes The Band was invited to deliver a wonderful performance on ABC television network, Trinidadian model Crystal Noreiga hit the catwalk at NYFW and received a coveted Marc Jacobs deal, and Anya Ayoung-Chee's constant praise and display of superb design talent gained her popularity on Project Runway. These are just a few among the pool of internationally recognized successes to come out of Trinidad and Tobago in fashion and entertainment. It seems like Trinidad and Tobago fashion is heading in a truly positive direction. Let's continue to support the growth and expansion of Caribbean fashion and Caribbean culture on the whole.
