Sept. 4, 2008 – Organizers will present the 2nd Annual Virgin Islands Fashion Week from Oct. 9 –13, at the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort and Spa. The five-day, multi-cultural event will feature 20 new and established designers from across the Caribbean, the United States and Africa, who will present their latest collections ranging from street chic to couture at the signature Caribbean Catwalk Runway Show to be held.

Other designers will come from St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Trinidad, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana and Nigeria.
The week of activities will include a unique upscale fashion show, fashion expo, press conference and chic after-parties for the fashion savvy Virgin Islanders.
