One of the first things that stands out about soca songstress

The line has been aptly called SokahGyal, and has been quietly making its debut from as early as Aprilthis year.

Nailah has made no official announcement about

the line, however, she listed herself as designer for the line in her Instagram

bio. She has also tagged the line in quite a number of posts throughout the

year.

Based on her tagged posts, pieces from Sokah

Gyal include a yellow tribal print two-piece that she wore to Coachella in

April, tan-coloured slacks and crop-top at Ubersoca Cruise in November and of

course, several pieces during her recent concert Sokah Origins in early

December.

For those who follow the songstress, the idea

of her own clothing line isn’t too far-fetched. During a Caribbean Beatinterview last year was when she announced that she’d be launching a linecalled Sokah, formerly owned by her mother, Abbi Blackman.

The subtleness with which Nailah has been wearing her own pieces echoes that of pop princess Rihanna, who—without anyone knowing—publicly wore several pieces from her own line before it was announced that they were items from FENTY, the fashion house she founded under the luxury fashion group LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton).

While the Instagram page doesn’t currently

have any posts, it’s believed that she’ll drop the collection sometime during

the fast-approaching Carnival season in Trinidad and Tobago, which is perfect

timing for fans to emulate her eye for fashion during a period where everyone’s

style is expected to be over the top.
