Fashion Week Trinidad and Tobago: Claudia Pegus
Fashion Week Trinidad & Tobago: Rea McNamara picks from the Front Row
The audience was tense with anticipation: the Haute Caribbean grand dame was running late, and a lull loomed after local soca star Swappi cut his performance due to mic problems. The drama heightens when two beefy shirtless male models finally stride out in military garrison caps, followed by high fashion with just the right masquerade excess. (I fell for the popped collar and styled sky-high bouffant hair that went with a sleeveless iridescent taffeta cocktail frock in flashy coral and jade.) “I wanted to show the influence of Carnival on couture,” Pegus said afterwards. “And what we can bring to the international table with a Caribbean look.”
