Channel 5 to air fashion show featuring a Belizean

Mission Catwalk; it’s the fashion designer reality series that is taking the Caribbean by storm. Designers from the islands of Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Belize and Guyana are competing for the opportunity to show at London Fashion Week 2012 and other prizes worth three million Jamaican dollars or some seventy thousand Belize dollars. Since the show started Belizean designer, Rebecca Stirm of Roaring Creek has been making a name for herself from week to week with top designs. She has so far won two challenges, placed first runner up in another and in the latest episode, she earned top marks from judges with a design inspired by Victoria “Posh” Beckham. This challenge was won by Jamaican designer, Gregory Williams who designed a Nicki Minaj inspired piece. In this challenge the designers were put in groups of three to design a garment for one of four fashion icons, including Michelle Obama and Lady Saw. After negotiations, we can report that Channel Five will begin airing the series in the next few days so stay tuned for the schedule.
