Wild exotic prints, ingenious designs, and an awe inspiring presentation are just a few of the things audiences can expect at the launching of up and coming designer, Petra Moore's first collection.
Moore's effort entitled 'Safari' uses lots of cottons and silks to capture the exotic and natural essence one expects from such an adventure.
"I'm very excited about this collection", Moore offered, " This being my first collection people will be able to see my creativity beyond the somewhat static world of designing business wear. I'm also excited because we launch our website, www.emphasistt.com, on the same night"she continued.
Moore, a management student at UTT's Caribbean Academy of Fashion and Design, is the recipient of the award for best business wear at the 2006 Making Style Fashion Week. The show kicks off on Sunday 28th September from 7-8 pm, at Alice Yard, Roberts Street, Woodbrook.
