See you at‘The Genesis’, Wednesday December 31, 2008, at Temple Hall Estate. Absinthe is gonna be so fly!

Crisy clean lines
Structured pieces in clean simple lines make an effortless fashion statement that you don’t need all the fuss to look fly! For the ladies think natural womanly curves in stylish silhouettes with structured dresses. And the men in well-tailored blazers. Which brings us to…

The Skinny
Skinny ties, skinny pants, you name it…men’s fashion has gone uber-thin this season with a very slimming silhouette from the ties to the tapered trousers.

Jewel tones
Chose deep hues of royal purple, emerald green, burnt orange, or the always timeless jet black.

Futuristic Fashion
Peaked shoulders reminiscent of your favourite superhero, have not yet hit the local fashion scene, so be the first to rock it on Jamaican shores.

Plaid and plumage
No, not together, but as individual trends plaids and feathers are very much de rigeur this season. Ladies think feather earrings or feather accents on your outfits if you dare. Gents plaid pants, scarves or fedoras for a bold fashion statement.

Scarves
Temple Hall is likely to get a little chilly, so a scarf will not only be fashionable, but also functional.

Go local
So many Jamaican fashion designers are on trend with the international fashion scene and will create eye-catching custom pieces. Ladies think Poshe, Keneea Linton or Julan for great party dresses. For the gents Tony Krash, Carlton Brown and the like will sort out yout suits proper!
