Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs of Antigua redefined the meaning of fashion forward when their French inspired collection, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Madame\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, hit the runway at the recently concluded International Fashion Festival – Barbados Fashion Week<\/strong> held on 26-28 October, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs,<\/a> which was represented by Shem Henry and Demarley Davis, was amongst a group of Caribbean designers who participated in the event through the support of the European Union\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 11th<\/sup> EDF Regional Private Sector Development Programme (RPSDP), an initiative currently being implemented by the Caribbean Export Development Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They showcased their Madame collection to a captivated audience, which included international buyers and fashion experts: Sharifa Murdock, co-founder and owner of Liberty Fairs and founder of Envsn Festival; Channing Hargrove, fashion writer for Refinery 29; Hillary Joseph, Director of Caba\u00c3\u00b1a Swim, consultant on Fashion for Brazil and swimwear buyer for Nads Swim; and Ronny Oppong, Global Retail Relations Director for Liberty Fashion & Lifestyle Fairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shem, the spokesperson for Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs, explained that the collection was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 a blend of French silhouettes along with androgyny\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. We really played with a lot of feminine style to the male pieces and we gave some of the female pieces male qualities. The pieces this evening were inspired around the theme Madame, which is French, bougie, very high-end, very classy and gives a very chic look. That is the image we wanted to project,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pointing out that Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs had recently rebranded, he said the duo thought this was the best way to feature what inspired them and their target market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have always been driven by French silhouettes, designers, the culture, the music, the lifestyle so that drove us to create the line.\u00c2  We used broches, bows and berets to represent the French style and to soften the pieces so they weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hardcore French guys but rather, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI am subtle, I am chic but I am also masculine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Shem said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauding the Caribbean Export Development Agency for its support, the Antiguan designer said Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs has benefited tremendously.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Caribbean export has allowed fashion designers the opportunity to network, showcase their work and trade. Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs has benefited from such opportunities and we will continue to nurture and strengthen the relationship between the two organizations,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to featuring their work at the International Fashion Festival – Barbados Fashion Week, <\/strong>Shem revealed that the duo, representing Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs, also attended a workshop on the Business of Fashion facilitated by international fashion experts, some of whom had Caribbean heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts included Ouigi Theodore, a Haitian designer who resides in the United States and is founder of the Brooklyn Circus, a retro-urban fashion boutique and label, and Stacey MaKenzie, a Jamaican born Canadian model and runway coach, who is famously known for judging and training models on America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Next Top Model and Canada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Next Top Model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The A listed team at that workshop touched, motivated and guided our small brand to new heights. My Caribbean brothers and sisters and my fashion mentors and guides, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy and hectic schedules to work a little magic on Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Caribbean Export has been very instrumental\u00c2  in our small business by allowing for learning and workshop opportunities which has helped with the business and creative aspects of our business . The initiative has really brought Caribbean Designers together and hopefully will allow growth economically within the fashion sector.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shem said Henr\u00c3\u00a9 Designs comprised a group of young male designers who \u00e2\u20ac\u0153really go against the grain and against what is normal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2  Their goals include exporting to regional and international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Most of the pieces may look like they are for the American and European market but they are pieces you can wear in the Caribbean, you just need to know how to do it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Shem said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Also featured at International Fashion Festival –<\/strong> Barbados Fashion Week<\/strong> was a collection entitled Butterfly Alumni and Jahlee Jeans by Barbadian designer, Roy Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His garments were a combination of men and women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resort wear and featured floral prints, whites and denim. His dresses were styled with cold shoulders and frills at the ends of the sleeves.\u00c2  His full figured female attire comprised a white off the shoulder top and a bouncy floral skirt, which were designed to complement the best assets of a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jackets and jeans were clean cut and appeared comfortable and trendy.\u00c2  These featured minor embroidery details, especially on the pants and jackets, which really stood out and lent some elegance to the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roy disclosed that he was invited by Caribbean Export to showcase his line in the show and explained that he intended to work with the Agency so that he could fulfil his dreams to expand his brands and have the lines carried in local and regional stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My greatest desire is to broaden my horizons and get into the Caribbean markets. My passion has always been denim and I want to continue that trend because many designers aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t into it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my intention to create denim garments and even make traditional garments that usually use regular material, but in denim,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Roy said, adding he had already made a denim bridal gown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other designers who participated in the International Fashion Festival –<\/strong> Barbados Fashion Week <\/strong>and received support from the Caribbean Export Development Agency were: Kristin Frazer of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands; Indira Moss of The Bahamas; David Andr\u00c3\u00a9 of Haiti and Kimya Glasgow of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caribbean Export is committed to the development of fashion within the region. The agency provides opportunities for emerging and established Caribbean designers to receive technical assistance, business coaching, training and market and export development.\u00c2  (SP\/Caribbean Export)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
