Fashion Profiles: International Designs with a Caribbean Flair

The island of Jamaica is viewed as the fashion capital of the Caribbean and therefore it would come as no surprise that Slovakian designer, Lubica Kucerova, more commonly known as Lubica Slovak would choose to be  a part of this style mecca.

With designs that emit a  soft elegance, Lubica has attracted the attention of Jamaican celebrities such as "The Voice" winner 2013, Tessanne Chin and has even teamed up with her sister Tami Chynn to create the Anuna Collection.

As was alluded to earlier, Lubica collaborated with Tessanne's sister, Tami Chynn, to create the Anuna Collection in 2010. In September of that same year, Lubica and Tami received Designer of the Year Award for this collection at The Jamaica Observer Style Awards. Below are a few of the looks from the collection being modelled by Tami Chynn.

However, it is not only sisters Tami and Tessanne who have taken a liking to Lubica's designs. Smile Jamaica TV Host and Miss Universe 1st runner up 2010, Yendi Phillipps, is occasionally styled in outfits from several of Lubica's collections during her hosting.















Recently, Lubica showcased her new collection, Dream, at The Collection Moda Fashion Show in Jamaica with Yendi Phillipps being one of her models. Below are a few of the looks from the show as well as a few others that were not seen on the runway.
