Designer Denise Jennings returned to Guyana three years ago after 20+ years designing of elegant gowns and alluring costumes in Barbados and plans to turn up the heat in the couture arena with her Hibiscus Couture House of Fashion.
Barely making it into the world, Denise was born premature at seven months and spent her first month of life outside her mother in an incubator. She weighed less than five pounds and was bald; a contrast to today as she is curvy and has knee-length hair.
Though she was born at the Georgetown Public Hospital, Denise and her family moved around a lot because her father was a detective. Her family settled in Bartica and that is where her heart is. She attended from primary school there with ministers Simona Broomes and Dr George Norton. She also attended Bartica Secondary.
