BENEFICIARY SUCCESSES USING THE EPA

CARIBBEAN FASHION INDUSTRY

At the regional level, the Agency has provided support to designers to showcase their talent and the diversity of the region in fashion and couture. In June 2012, Caribbean Export sponsored 11 designers from nine CARIFORUM States to participate in Caribbean Fashion Week (CFW). CFW is recognised as the seminal fashion, entertainment and lifestyle event that has come to epitomize the essence of Caribbean style.

Caribbean Export, within the framework of the 10th EDF RPSDP, has been providing support the regional fashion industry with the aim of increasing international awareness and export opportunities for the sector. With a focus on export development, marketing, and capacity building, the Agency has facilitated the participation of Caribbean designers in a range of fashion-related events on the regional and international front.
