Guyanese entertainment promoter,
Philbert Giddings, will premier Guyana
Fashion Showcase NY (GFS), a
runway event, featuring Guyanese-
American, Guyanese, and international
designers, who will bring colorful
collections to the Marine Park
Golf Club, at 2880 Flatbush Ave.,
Brooklyn.
The Sunday, Sept. 5 couture extravaganza
will begin at 6 pm and end with
a soiree on the beautiful manicured
lawns of the venue. The 60-foot runway
will welcome an eclectic group
of designers, many who showed their
collection at the inaugural Guyana
Fashion Showcase that was launched
at the Ramada Princess Hotel Guyana
in 2019.
Details of the after-show soiree will
be announced via the GFS website
and social media platforms.
Giddings, himself, a debonair
dresser, told Caribbean Life that fashion
fans should come prepared to
enjoy an evening of opulence. He
shared, that the not to be missed
event, is a prelude to New York Fashion
Week that returns to the runway,
three days later, since the Coronavirus
shutdown.
Some of the industry’s creative
talent of seasoned, and emerging
designers, will flood the catwalk with
swim, urban, evening, classic and
whimsical collections, all set against
the backdrop of the themed, “Garden
City” show.

What do you give a queen on her 75th
birthday anniversary?
Diamonds… perhaps.
If your entire family comprise a globally
recognized king and queen, several
princes and heirs to a legacy rewarded
annually with gold and diamond; if
instead of referring to you as princess
Cedella, your father gave you the nickname
Nice Time — and if you were the,
the first born to Bob and Rita Marley a
world party might seem the most appropriate
gift for the queen she has known
from birth.
From lessons taught by her mother
in 2005 when the world joined the
royal family to celebrate her legendary
father’s 60th birthday anniversary in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a global event
