Trini Ryan Chan scores second win
After a taste of victory with his first win last week, Ryan Chan of Trinidad has won yet another challenge on the fashion reality series Mission Catwalk.
His scores also puts him in the top three which means he will be showing at Caribbean Fashionweek this Friday.
The task for the show’s final challenge was to create a mini collection for SOHO boutique dubbed London 2012, fit for a fashionista travelling to London for the Olympics .
“I first thought about who I would design for, and who better than an athlete’s wife/girlfriend. I created three looks with three events in mind: The grand opening — something elegant; a day look — she has to go shopping, and of course something she would wear at the Olympic game — an edgy, patriotic and fun outfit,” Chan explained.
“I tried to keep the collection fresh and sophisticated to appeal to the SOHO customer since the winning designs would be reproduced for that boutique,” he further explained.
“Being a patriotic Trinbagonian he stuck to a red, white and black colour palette representative of the colours of the national flag,” said Chan.
His winning pieces will be reproduced and available at SOHO Boutique on Saturday June 9. The designer will be in store from 2:00 pm to meet fans. Guest judge and proprietor of SOHO Boutique Michelle Coulton was duly impressed with his work, as were regular judges, host Keneea Linton-George, Novia McDonald-Whyte, senior associate editor lifestyle and social content at the Jamaica Observer and menswear designer Carlton Brown.
In a turn of events, Belize’s Rebecca Stirm’s domination of the show has ended with her exit last night. The 19-year-old Stirm who had never been in the bottom won four challenges this season. Barbadian Kerin Scott was also voted off.
The top three designers are Jamaicans Crystal Powell and Gregory Williams along with Chan.
The top three will show their collections at Caribbean Fashionweek the National Indoor Sports Centre on Friday .
On June 19, guest judge Meiling Esau of Trinidad will join the other judges in announcing the winner of the second season of Mission Catwalk.
