Edgar Gallimore offered a pleasant Sunday afternoon with refreshments for Family Time On Father's Day, June 19 at St Andrew Parish Church Hall where Petals & Promises and Haute Couture de Dawn combined for a fashion show interspersed with musical items by artistes who still have a sense of pitch, among them being Velia Espeut, Michael Harris, Charles Anthony Moore, Ossie 'D' and Stevie 'G' Karl Williams skillfully MCeed the thing together.On the whole, it seems however that the traditional continues to be the most popular; the gowns that make the groom think it's the wedding cake itself coming down the aisle.
For the men, waistcoats from the Eddie George collection were unveiled. Waistcoats seem to be making a comeback but, if you wondered what you're going to do with them in a milieu so anti-jacket-and-tie much less suits, the answer was offered. READ MORE |

Jamaica Gleaner Tuesday October 28, 2003
IF YOU were at the fashion show put on by Woman Inc. at the 'Woman 2003' trade fair and exhibition at the Knutsford Court Hotel in New Kingston on Sunday, then you were in for a real treat.
After an impressive first segment, thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, the bridal wear was presented. This segment was put on by Petals and Promises, and featured traditional wedding gowns as well as the more creative and an unusual raffia crocheted number - a crowd favourite. This segment proved even more satisfying to the audience, which responded with whistles, chants and claps as the ladies strutted their stuff. The presentations were fast-paced and up tempo, but not so fast that you could not enjoy the designs featured, and therefore not too stressful on the feet of the standing audience. READ MORE |
