Caribbean fashion deserves a seat at the table

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
“Being invited to Island Black Book was an honour. From my very first conversation with Suzanne, I knew she understood the fashion industry and had the passion to mentor Caribbean designers into global markets, especially Europe.
I’ve been in the business over 40 years, focusing mostly on regional and U.S. exports but I’m always hungry to grow and break into new markets. From our first session, I knew I was in expert hands. I’ve learned so much, and I know I’ll be ready for Spring/Summer 2026! Thank you for opening this door, it’s going to be an exhilarating ride.”
