Western Jamaica is now preparing for FashionBlock Mobay set for tomorrow, Saturday, October 24 at the Old Hospital Park (across from Wexford Court Hotel) in the heart of MoBay’s Hip Strip.

This year, the event has attracted a number of high-profiled supporters including the PSDP (Private Sector Development Programme) and the European Union and the Jamaica Fashion and Apparel Cluster.

A number of Saint’s models who have returned from New York, London and Paris will participate in the event. These include Shena Moulton who recently created history in Paris as the youngest Caribbean black face to walk for 11 top designers in Paris – the fashion capital of

the world.

Trissan Holder, Ashane Rose and Shantelle Fitten have all returned to add pizzazz to the 120ft catwalk in the second city.

Sponsorship partners include John Swaby Entertainment, FAME FM, Nationwide FM 90, Caribbean Producers/RED BULL, Knutsford Express, LIME, Coral Cliff, Juici Patties, World Brands, Revlon and others to be announced.

“Western Jamaica has been calling for months and we are pleased to be able to stage another exciting MoBay event with our partners and sponsors,” said Saint’s CEO Deiwght Peters. “It is important for people in the fashion industry to understand that Western Jamaica is also a formidable market and has its undeniable fashion identity as well, so we should try to effectively incorporate them into the fashion landscape of the country,” Peters added.

“This is a great platform for the Fashion and Apparel Cluster members to showcase to Western Jamaica. This will be our Western Edition of Island Couture,” said Glenda Dennis-Joseph, facilitator of the Fashion and Apparel Cluster. The Island Couture has been a monthly showcase of the members of the Fashion Cluster which is an amalgamation of fashion industry players including designers (fashion and accessories), model agencies, manufacturers, make-up artists and stylists and others.
