Virgin Islands' very own talented designer Kristin C. Frazer of Trefle Designs presented her kids' swim & resort collection and Markita Smith of Menen I Designs made her debut on the international stage.
The showcase also featured a multi-cultural cast of models from the Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands, New York, Guyana, Cayman Islands and Puerto Rico. The mega show had a Talent Half Time Show featuring Travie Rozae, Dalan Vanterpool and Kamau A. Georges and the Extravaganza Troupe.
The show put on by Mr Terry T. Donovan was one that he felt was well executed and has given him the courage to do even more come 2015. “It’s been a great event and the audience seems to have enjoyed it immensely and it’s what Summer Sizzle is all about, the style, the glamour and all the designers just brought it on tonight,” said Mr Donovan.
He said that it was great to have seen the level of show put on by especially the models of the Virgin Islands. “It was just a beautiful evening of style and elegance.”
He said that himself and team will continue to build Summer Sizzle BVI as a global event attracting designers and models from around the globe which will in turn bring persons to the Territory.
“We are very, very excited about the future of the event. With Oscar Award Nominee Taraji P. Henson in the audience this year [it] was an even greater plus to the Summer Sizzle. Taraji P. Henson being here tonight, an Oscar nominated actress is amazing and she loves the BVI and she really enjoyed the event,” said Donovan.
Taraji P. Henson said it was a beautiful show and that she would love return to the VI. During her brief moment on the runway she was all excited by the Caribbean food calling for Roti. “Can anybody get me some roti tonight, is there any place that sells this after hours I really need some roti tonight,” she said expressing her craving also for peas and rice and other local Caribbean dishes.
The curtains come down on the Summer Sizzle today Sunday, July 27, 2014 with the Sailing Excursion & Beach BBQ on the island of Virgin Gorda as the grand finale to the weekend.
