ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Music, culture and fashion, were the elements that made this year’s Summer Sizzle so extravagant and extraordinary, with host of the event, International Television sensation Tamika Ray, adding her endorsement of the event, stating, “it is bigger and better in the BVI”.

Last evening, July 21, 2012, many came out to Summer Sizzle’s Fashion Gala with its theme ‘Global Glamour’, that was held at the top floor ballroom in UPs Cinaplex in Road Town, Tortola.

The event which was coordinated by Virgin Islander, who now resides in the United States of America, Terry Donovan, showcased world renowned international designers, such as: Rubin Chapelle, Once Youth, Laquon Smith, ‘Aqua Couture’ Roye Garry, Rich Kim, Kevin Hall, women swim wear line by Adorene, Hurley and Boden, and men swim wear by Lord Taylor and Boden.

The fashion gala also featured items from upcoming local designer, Bayrock.

With a few mishaps, falls and wardrobe malfunctions, the show was nevertheless very exciting and colourful, with the new designs on display absolutely amazing to experience first-hand.

With the audience far more than catered for, it didn’t hide the fashion trends in the room, everyone came out dressed to impress, showing off their own personal sense of fashion and style.

The Fashion Gala was the third event for Summer Sizzle which started on July 19, where Summer Sizzle had its launch at the Scrub Island Resort, as well as, a Sunset White Fashion Fete and Elegant All White Fashion Affair.

Summer Sizzle 2012 will conclude today July, 22, 2012 with a sailing excursion and beach barbeque.

      I still cannot get enough of Terry's Summer sizzle. We in the BVI must admit that we are so lucky to have Terry doing this show year after year. Not sure what is his secret? We appreciate all his efforts and he really listens to everything we say about possible improvements. I think this fashion show is quite a catch for the BVI

    Looks nice but I'm curious at what happened to Taraji P.Henson, some of the international fashion models, as well as some of the designers who were scheduled to participate. Any word???

    I was disappointed that there were not much international models, since I am not paying that kind of money to go see the same old faces and they have no flair at all, need some training these girls and guys!!!
