DUSK TO DAWN
The fabulous couturier and high-flying member of the global jet set Isabell Kristenen graced our shores with a luxurious after-dark presentation from her stunning Dusk To Dawn collection.
The statuesque Dane’s presentation was a love letter to the Jamaican flora and fauna, with specific inspirations taken from the boa and orchid native to the island. Swathed in intricate couture pieces, our local models sashayed across the gleaming marble expanse of Theresa and Andrew Roberts’ ‘Hanover Grange’ pad, anchored at the ultra-exclusive Tryall Club & Resort Villas. All Woman brings you these highlights from the glitterati-filled front row.

However, this particular clone is a cross betweentwo Cuban species, Encyclia Plicata ‘Verde’ and Encyclia Plicata ‘Vinales’. The cross was made byClaude Hamilton of Hamlyn Orchids in Jamaica.(then)The Hummingbird, inspiredby the Jamaican National Bird,was created with a tropicalwool sourced in Italy.
