While most of them were barely five feet tall, the Junior and Intermediate models of Mije made big steps on Sunday, February 5.{{more}}
The Peace Memorial Hall came alive with a kaleidoscope of colours as Mije presented their show: âFashion is my Passionâ.
As the flashes from cameras went off from left to right, the young modelsâ creativity came to life, as they blew kisses, and struck their very best poses for the cameras, as they moved along the catwalk.
The show saw some eight sections being displayed, including: âWe love our heritageâ by Afrobbean Designs; âWe love to set trendsâ, âSimply Chic and we love itâ, by Simply Chic; âBratitudeâ by Kidz Town; âTo fashion with loveâ, âLove to wrapâ; âSwagâ by 12 year-old designer Rondine Browne; and âWe love mysteryâ.
Each section was definitely parent-approved and with some of their own judging, the children seated in the front rows showed their appreciation for fine, tailored handiwork.
Director of Mije Jean Johnney-Findlay told SEARCHLIGHT that she is always elated when the little ones get the opportunity to showcase themselves.
âI think we put out a great package and the children really enjoyed it,â she said.
Johnney-Findlay said she definitely sees a great future ahead for young fashion designers and pointed out that she is happy with the level of creativity showcased.
The Arabesque Dance Company, Avenues Dancers and Luta provided the entertainment.
Proceeds from the show will be donated to charity.
