Postcards From Trinidad: Backstage at the 2nd Annual Fashion Week Trinidad & Tobago

I'll be the first to admit that there are harder jobs than watching beautiful boys and girls model the latest looks on the beautiful island of Trinidad. I'm on location at the 2nd Annual Fashion Week Trinidad & Tobago, which is taking place at the ultra luxurious water front Hyatt Regency Trinidad. The first three days have been an absolutely delightful mix of beach hopping, island touring and tasting Trinidad's legendary local dish: shark & bake. Of course there's also clothing... lots of it! I've spent each night backstage, snapping pics of the collections from Trinidadian designers. Some notable looks that caught my attention are Peter Elias, who creates long flowy dresses à la Matthew Williamson, and Pilar (aka Miss Trinidad!), whose runway debut featured heavily Afrocentric pieces that honor the strong Afro-Caribbean heritage of the island. Stay tuned for more!
