Car­ni­val Is Fash­ion 2 de­liv­ered an elec­tri­fy­ing show­case of cre­ativ­i­ty, at­tract­ing a larg­er au­di­ence than last year and trans­form­ing the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah Grand Stage in­to a vi­brant cel­e­bra­tion of fash­ion, mu­sic and mas­quer­ade.

The event fea­tured an im­pres­sive line­up of de­sign­ers, in­clud­ing The Cloth; Zadd & East­man; Di­anne Hunt/Ten­nessee Ram­nar­i­nesingh; DAWW Cre­ations; In­dige­nous Phi­los­o­phy by Do­minique La Roche; SGP Re­sort; SM Warn­er…Art with At­ti­tude; Yesa De­signs; Mark East­man; Eliz­a­beth Lu­cas; Lost Tribe; and spe­cial guest de­sign­er April Walk­er.

High-en­er­gy mu­si­cal per­for­mances by so­ca stars Patrice Roberts and Nailah Black­man punc­tu­at­ed the run­way ex­pe­ri­ence, keep­ing the mo­men­tum high through­out the evening. Adding un­mis­tak­able Car­ni­val flair, tra­di­tion­al char­ac­ters such as Blue Dev­ils, Jab Jab, Bats and Moko Jumbies, along­side a pul­sat­ing Tam­bu Bam­boo band, moved seam­less­ly through the pro­duc­tion, fur­ther cap­ti­vat­ing the au­di­ence.

Con­cep­tu­alised and pro­duced by Richard Young, Car­ni­val Is Fash­ion 2 re­in­forced the Na­tion­al Car­ni­val Com­mis­sion’s com­mit­ment to spot­light­ing all di­men­sions of Car­ni­val — from mas and mu­sic to fash­ion and per­for­mance. The pro­duc­tion ap­pealed to a wide cross-sec­tion of au­di­ences while show­cas­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go’s cre­ative ex­cel­lence on one of the re­gion’s most icon­ic stages.
