Genesis Fashion Rhythm draws ‘Oohs! and Aahs!’

Oohs! and Aahs! filled the air as Genesis Fashion Rhythm unfolded as the sun went down last Sunday at the Promenade Gardens, here in the city.
The fashion show, presented by Accolade Awards (the Music Awards of Guyana), highlighted clothing that could be worn to the upcoming Accolade Awards and showed off formal and semiformal clothing for both males and females.

Michelle Cole-Rose, the official designer of the Accolade Awards, said that it was her job to make sure Guyanese were fashionably dressed for the Music Awards and that task included producing the Genesis Fashion Rhythms show. Her label, ‘Cole Facts’ was presented. Other prestigious designers featured in the show included international designer Mr. Roger Gary, Ms. Olympia Small, Ms. Vaski Harlequin and Ms. Pat Coates.
Guests were delighted as they recognised the familiar faces of local celebrities and television personalities. Models included Ms. Tamika Marshall, Ms. Celeste David and Ms. Charmaine Blackman.

Strutting their stuff and representing the males were Burchmore Simon (Chairman of AccoladeAwards) and Kerwyn Bollers from the popular Hits and Jams Productions. Also representing the men and delighting the female guests were Evening News Editor Paul McAdam, Adrian Dutchin and Jomo of X2, and Brandon Carter modelling tailored outfits by Herman and Sons.
One of two special invitees, Carter is a Fitness Model/Recording Artiste who featured in the Designer Akademic advertising campaign. The other special invitee was Katrina Nunez, a model who has been featured on the American reality show Project Runaway.

Cole-Rose said that the Genesis Fashion Rhythm was hosted in the Promenade Gardens because of the allegorical connections to the Garden of Eden. She stated, “I think of myself as an individual. I try to excel and be the best that I can be”.
Gary commended Trevor Rose (CEO and Co-Owner of Facts and Roses) who is the husband of Cole-Rose. “I gave kudos to Trevor for innovative use of the runway”.
Outfits were auctioned at the show for the benefit of the Let the Music Flow foundation, a fund set up to benefit young musicians and contribute to the revitalisation of the nation’s music industry.
