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

Full disclosure: I have a particular fondness for this minimalist (I grew up coveting my mom’s 1970s vintage pieces!). Even though this Caribbean Junya Watanabe is known for a steadfast noir day-to-night uniform, this season she’s gone self-referential, designing a black organdy collection recalling the subtle folds of Japanese origami volumes in its construction. (She concedes, “the drama of the collars is probably subconsciously Caribbean mas.”)
