About the Festival
Caribbean Fashion Fest is a new international platform connecting Caribbean designers with the global fashion industry. We are not a festival. We are a fashion week.
Our mission is to elevate Caribbean design beyond regional boundaries, creating opportunities for emerging and established designers to showcase their work on a global stage.
The Caribbean has always been a place of innovation, craftsmanship, and cultural synthesis. Our designers bring unique perspectives shaped by island life, ocean rhythms, and centuries of creative tradition.
Caribbean Fashion Fest provides the infrastructure, audience, and credibility these designers deserve. We curate carefully. We produce professionally. We think globally.
