Guyanese Fashion Designer, Junette Stuart, is preparing to ‘step out’ into the glare of a bigger, more dazzling stage on one of the world’s best-known fashion capitals of the developed world, the United Kingdom. Junette is all set to get on a plane to London in order to see where her talent will take her. Back in April, Junette received notification from Caribbean Global Awards that in recognition of her contribution to the fashion industry in the region she was being invited to travel to London to join with other Fashion Designers from the region in celebrating the work of the Caribbean fashion Design Community.
Speaking with the Stabroek Business on the recognition that her work had afforded her, Stuart said that she will be traveling to London in response to Caribbean Global Awards’ notification because she felt that a positive response would not only be good for her but for the fashion design industry as a whole. Stuart said that while she had decided to travel to the United Kingdom at her own expense, she believed that “the payback in terms of furthering her own brand as well as the ‘Guyana brand’” in the fashion industry was more than worth the undertaking.
