The antics of the models and the small entertainment package were more exciting than the clothing lines at Fashion Obsession on Sunday at Widcombe Road in Kingston.
Wearing designs from Bagawiya, Yahdie Conscious, Sprawl Tease and Perfect Fit, the female models enticed the men by dancing and splitting. One man was so excited that he showed no regard for the children or adults present as he shouted expletives before saying, "a dem woman yah yuh call woman". The men were not to be outdone as some showed off their abs or flabs.
Lukewarm
After a lukewarm presentation by the University Dance Society, Bagawiya designs were shown. The line comprised tank tops, T-shirts, jackets and shorts which were in light colours.
Yahdie Conscious designs were short dresses, leopard prints and frills. Sara Lawrence pumped up the vibe in a purple top, gold tights and red shoes as the DJ played Anthony B's Tease Har.
T-shirt line
Sprawl Tease was a line of mostly T-shirts. As part of its recent Parish Edition, the shirts said things like 'Certified St Thomas Obeah Specialist', 'What Happens in Negril Stays in Negril' and 'Kingstonians do it Better'.
The main line for the night was Perfect Fit that was showing its swimsuit line. The men howled as the women strut their stuff in bright coloured and metallic swimsuits. The pieces had cut-outs and were being worn by models of all sizes.
The designers for Perfect Fit Nicole and Keisha Weir seemed proud as they also modelled their designs on the runway. Part proceeds from the event will be given to Zion Hill Primary School in St Mary.
When the show ended, the host announced that there were entertainers who were going to perform. Alibra performed but the people were busy meeting and greeting, but when Timberlee took the stage to Bubble Like Soup, the audience listened. Tifa talked about the Crawny Gal and Stacious sang Falling Down. In an alliance-like fashion Tifa, Timberlee, Ms Ting, Alibra, Natalie Storm and Stacious took the stage and did various pieces before their 'hot' exit.
Laden with attention
Chino excited the audience as he did She Want It Hard and Rave All Night. Recent addition to the Big Ship camp Laden (formerly Bin Laden) also drew some attention as he deejayed Gal Coward, I'm Sorry and a host of other songs.
