Island or Nasty Gal.
Q:
Aside from fashion, what are your other interests? JB: I’m getting a developing interest for photography and directing. I really haven’t pursued any in depth and I wouldn’t want to do it professionally but it would be another way to express myself artistically. I took the photos for my last collection and I’d love to direct a fashion film for my line too.
Q:
If you could raid the closet of one person, who would it be and why? JB: Wow just one. That’s hard because I draw style inspiration from so many different people but probably Rihanna cause my style is more like hers, kind of all over the place like a true Pisces.
Q:
How do you describe the fashion scene in Jamaica?
Q:
Name your fashion piece must haves… JB: I must have gold accessories! I also love anything high waisted right now, you can’t go wrong with that.
Q: Who is your biggest fashion influence?
JB: My biggest fashion influence would be Rihanna. I like the fact that she’s not afraid to take fashion risks without looking completely crazy.
Q: Describe your style in 5 words or less. JB: Edgy, Comfortable, Eclectic, Fun, Chic

JB: We are still developing when it comes to our fashion scene. But I do believe it is still very strong for a caribbean island, with our fashion and style weeks and local newspapers that make fashion an integral feature in their publication. We definitely have this pocket of very well dressed males and females who I see around town who clearly are on top of style trends as well as they have a natural ability to pull off unique looks, but ultimately we are an island so the majority of us have a more laid back style and with the limited style selection brought down by most stores it’s not very easy for the ordinary woman to have a very eclectic wardrobe.
Q: So what’s your next step / where do you see yourself from here?
JB: I’m just going to keep promoting all my ventures and see where it takes me. I’m aiming to have GlamHEAD online in December for US shipping and I’m in talks to have YC sold from a store in Barbados.
