CLASSY, sophisticated and romantic was the way local designer Ms. Sonia Noel described her collection `Simply Irresistible 2’ to be launched at the Le Meridien Pegasus Hotel on July 4.
Noel, in an interview with the Sunday Chronicle said that sleep wear, fantasy wear, matching clothing for mothers and daughters, a pregnancy line, suits for men, and swimwear are just some of the clothing that will be on display.
According to Noel, the idea to launch `Simply Irresistible 2’ is a result of the praise and positive public response received from the first show held last July 6.
About 38 models ranging from ages seven to 60 years old will show off the new line of clothing. Foreign models are among the 38.
The six overseas models from New York, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Suriname include Montana, Joyann Baker, Lisa Yates, Vincent Stout and Shawn Field.
Among the local models are Ronessa McAdam, Negla Brandis, Desu Harry, Mark Lewis, Ben Kennedy, Kester Thomas and Kathy Joseph.
Noel promised patrons that this year’s show will be “ten times better” than last year’s with superior choreography which will be done by Barbadian Rachel Cox and Guyanese Vivian Dash.
She said that everything is currently on stream for the perfect launch.
“Every thing looks fantastic. I am working with enthusiastic models and that makes the job so much easier,” Noel said.
According to the designer, the “clothing is to die for” and persons will not be disappointed.
Some of the colours that will be used are earth tones, black and white, different shades of pink along with other vibrant colours such as green and orange.
The clothing, which includes sheer linen, cotton and rayon, will be hand-painted and tie-dyed and will be accessorised with shells, beads and copper.
Apart from local coverage of the event, Caribbean Magazine, HIP will also be in Guyana for the event.
Persons out of Guyana will also be there to select pieces of clothing that they like.
Sponsors for the event are Banks DIH Limited, Universal Airlines, BWIA, Caribbean Star Airlines, Suriname Airways, Gizmos and Gadgets and Antarctic Maintenance, Palace De Leon Hotel and Spotlight Productions.
Part proceeds of the Georgetown show will go towards the Joshua House, while part proceeds from a show to be held in Berbice will be given to the Berbice Anjuman Orphanage.
