The dig­i­tal Look­Book is avail­able to the pub­lic at www.fash­iontt.co.tt/look­book, con­nect­ing lo­cal de­sign­ers with in­ter­na­tion­al buy­ers and in­vestors to ex­pand the glob­al foot­print of T&T’s fash­ion in­dus­try.

Dis­cov­er lo­cal fash­ions de­signed to shine from Christ­mas cel­e­bra­tions through New Year’s Eve and in­to the year ahead.
