The event will feature New York based Vincentian fashion designers, including host Donna Weekes of âEthelâ designs, which produced evening gowns for two of this yearâs Ms SVG Pageant.
The show will showcase the work of other Caribbean designers in New York as well as designers from Trinidad, Antigua, Barbados, St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Guyana.
A Vincy Soca Extravaganza is slated for later that evening, also at Aviator Indoor Ballroom, and will feature some of the leading soca artistes out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
These artistes include three-time and reigning National Soca Monarch, Skinny Fabulous, 2010 Road March champion Maddzart and two-time Road March winner Problem Child.
The ABC of Calypso, Alston Becket Cyrus and âthe Rolls Royce of Calypsoâ Winston Soca are also among the acts slated to perform at the event.
The events will conclude with an all-white cruise, dubbed âBlanc sur Blancâ aboard the New York Princess from 11 p.m. on September 5.
The vessel is scheduled to sail from Emmons Avenue, Pier 8, with Caribbean and Japanese Cuisine onboard.
Several DJs, including Outta Orda Sounds and 2Kool Chris, are slated to provide music during the cruise.
