Regal in Rêve
The brother-sister duo of Duane and Teasea Bennett used the Saint International Style Week Jamaica 2019 platform to unveil ‘Rêve’lation: the ZAHIR 2020 collection. Designed by Rêve’s master goldsmith Duane Bennett, the pieces, made primarily from knotted yarn and African prints, elevated the everyday gold staple to seduce the torso.
The full looks comprised chic one-shoulder blousons accentuated by “made-you-look” Rêve pieces. Other design elements included African-print “easy 1-2-3 turbans” that crowned several Saint queens.
