For the second year, Impact Promotional Models agency hosts its fashion show and fundraiser at the Umana Yana next Saturday. This year’s event is dubbed ‘Fashionista’.
Last year, when the show made its debut, CEO of Impact Merecia Phillips said the event was only showcasing off-the-rack international designer brands, but that this year, the affair would be a bigger and better one. Well, she has kept her promise and Fashionista will see local designers showcasing from the dressed-up classy right down to the simple casual and exotic beachwear.
Among them are Kram Ronuj Designs owned by Mark Junor, Carl Peterkin with his brand C A P Designs, Shawnette Da Costa with Da Costa’s Creations, Karen Brathwaite with her African-print styled brand Kosmic Vibes, and Ghodess Wear among others.
The 25-year-old Merecia had collaborated with Elaine Fashion and Lingerie Wear and used the opportunity to promote her models at last year’s event. Most of the pieces displayed were red and white since it was just prior to Valentine’s Day. She had said that the show was not as huge as she hoped but expressed optimism that this year’s show would outshine it.
Impact Promotional Models agency was founded as a platform to empower young women, promote self-confidence, good interpersonal skills and self-awareness, and strive to make them the best they could possibly be.
Since the birth of the agency Merecia and her models have been participating in the Department of Culture, Youth and Sport’s Mashramani Band and just weeks ago, they did so for the third time.
For tickets or to join the agency as a model, persons can contact Merecia on Facebook at Impact Promotional Models, by email at impactpromotionalmodel@gmail.com or by phone at 615-5670.
The audience will also be entertained by Pikiry MC set to perform live at the show. Fashionista begins at 6 pm.
