Fashion Week Trinidad & Tobago: Rea McNamara picks from the Front Row

“The structured part of the uniform is very post-colonial,” the former Miss Trinidad & Tobago Universe says of a schoolgirl kilt with sexy black and gold lace peaking out of the folds. The designer is behind the upstart Pilar label.  I grew fond of its debut last season, remixing the Bobo Shanti rastafari culture’s boho African print and brightly coloured robes. It was interesting to see Meiling’s protégé go further on the subcultural mining, this time finding inspiration in island uniformity.
