Led by stylist Marika-Ella Ames and the team at the Palm Heights Hotel, designers including Theophilio and JawaraAlleyne offered a fresh take on carnival style.
, as well as campaigns for Louisa Ballou and Jawara Alleyne, brought a unique perspective on Caribbean culture to the table. Her Jamaican heritage and keen eye for the island’s natural beauty made the process instinctive. “The concept of rebirth is a big theme in carnival,” she says, “because it’s quite a spiritual practice. Everyone comes, they shed their usual day to day and take on a new exciting adventure.”The stylist asked designers from London, Norway, New York, and Brazil to join her.
On the day itself, Palm Heights’ two floats manifested the artistic visions of New York’s Raul De Nieves and Nigerian sound installation artist Emeka Ogboh, as curated by Zoe Lukov. Dressed in the finery Ames brought to the island, the Palm Heights band twerked their way to Mambo Italiano at Paradise Pizza and a private after party that carried on late into the night—taking the roots of carnival and turning them into an immersive work of fashion theater.
