BB Fashion Week 2012 by Vacation Apartments in Barbados
A big hello from me – I’m Barbara Trotman, a Brit living in Barbados and the proud owner and manager of some fabulous vacation apartments on this beautiful island. As someone who loves all things stylish (and who tries to look the part!), I just had to share one of the most exciting upcoming events on the island: BB Fashion Week 2012!
Taking place right in the heart of Bridgetown, Barbados, this highly anticipated Caribbean fashion event kicks off on 25th October and promises four fun-filled days and nights of:
- Glamorous runway shows
- Sparkling parties
- Exciting networking opportunities
With over 25 designers from 10 countries, it's guaranteed to captivate patrons, celebrities, sponsors and the media alike. Trust me – it’s one event not to miss if you’re a fashion lover!
My Personal Favourite on the Barbados Event Calendar
As a CEO responsible for vacation lettings in Barbados, it’s important I look the part – well, a girl can only try, can’t she? Which is why BB Fashion Week is quickly becoming one of my absolute favourite island events!
The Fashion Gala opens the festivities at 7pm on 25th October, themed “Toast to Fashion – Dress For It.”
No excuses! There’s plenty of time to dash home after work, freshen up, throw on your gladdest of glad rags, and head out for a fantastic night.
Workshops, Designers & Caribbean Glamour
The excitement continues the next day with the Barbados Fashion Extravaganza, featuring both upcoming and established designers, including pieces from the Adopt-a-Designer programme, showcasing their 2013 ready-to-wear collections – right up my street!
Want to get involved during the day? The Passion Workshops run from 10am to 2pm and cover:
- Make-Up Artistry
- Fashion Marketing & Media
- Model Development
- The Business of Design
Personally, I’m leaning toward the Make-up Artistry session – and no comments on that, thank you!
In the evening, don’t miss the Caribbean Fashion Fiesta, where regional designers bring their vibrant styles to the spotlight.
A Glittering Finale
The event wraps up in style with the International Couture & Finale, featuring collections from some of the world’s top fashion designers. Prepare to be dazzled and inspired.
There truly is something for everyone, so if you’re in Barbados – do try and make it. You won’t regret it.
See You There!
And the next time you see me out and about welcoming guests at my vacation apartments in Barbados, I do hope my fashion choices pass your approval.
My motto? Look good, feel good.
Until then, happy styling!
Warm regards,
Barbara Trotman
