Juicy Jennivi

Logging in my first post on Caribbean Fashion Week EVER but that's not to say it will be a regular thing because the sole reason for the post is Jennivi Jordan who is based in London anyway and most probably will end up showing her work in a less tropical-climate.  For work purposes, I did have to go through folders and folders of quite um... *how to word this without sounding impolite*... uninteresting catwalk images.  Then Jennivi Jordan's name and designs leapt out at me and whilst I'm going to hold my tongue on that F word (FI-ERCE... the mere thought of me saying that word is laughable...), her collection shown at Carribean Fashion Week is most definitely along those lines.  There's a mix of texture, colours and textiles that is well balanced and at first glance has a touch of Louise Goldin's S/S 07 juicy coloured collection except Jennivi hasn't employed knitwear at all.  Amongst the bathing suits, white cheesecloth dresses and floppy hats, Jennivi's sharpness completely outshone the rest and I'm thinking she'll be making her way back to our shitty raining, hailing weather soon enough, somehow.
