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

As Trinidad & Tobago’s lone menswear label, Millhouse seemed set on sartorializing the anti-hero assassin in 1973′s The Day of the Jackal. It was a crisp early ’70s throwback: square-finished lapels on fitted khaki suits with graphic black and white neck scarves. But designer Gregory Mills (who founded the ten- year-old label with his wife Coline Baptiste-Mills) cites the Trini saga boy comeback as another inspiration. “Downtown, you’d see a real hub of these guys dressing the finest. They’d stand at the corner in three piece suits with ruffle shirts,” recalls Mills. “We’ve been trying to recapture that era.”
