Video - The Making of Style Trip
We are so excited to release STYLE TRIP, our fashion travel magazine to promote the style culture of the Caribbean. Our first stop was Trinidad and Tobago Carnival which is one of the greatest shows on earth that has set the stage for other Carnivals around the world. We also deem it as the Carnival to set the stage for 'fete' fashion trends. Besides the great music and beautifully crafted costumes notable for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, Carnival is also known for impeccable style with people from around the world adding to the fashion landscape of the Carnival Season. We noticed Spring/ Summer Trends hitting the Carnival stage before the weather changes internationally. We see Trinidad and Tobago being considered a global runway. We invite you to follow our journey to see the places, events and experiences we plan to explore showing off the stylish side of the islands.
W hen stepping out with your team, coordinate your style move so everyone is on point. We are not going for the Brady bunch look, but for friends that stand out together.
Stay original but compliment each other. Nothing is wrong with a theme for your look, some events make it easy with a colour or style tip prior to the event. So when you step inside you do so with style.
