Guyanese fashion designer, 37-year-old Nelsion Nurse started in the Mashramani industry as a teenager in high school.
“I have been designing costumes since the age of 13 and I have been competing competitively with costumes when I was in first form at secondary school designing for my old nursery school. My little sister went to the same nursery school I did, and they would have their annual Mash jam.”
This was his first foray into designing costumes and this moment would cement his creativity within the school system. Admittedly, this is where he began his journey for designing for larger batches.
