The recent haute couture show of preeminent Guyanese fashion designer Donna Ramsammy-James was fashion poetry in motion. The pieces were whimsical in style, colorful in glorious splendor and gorgeous on the bodies of the models.
This was one of the best collections ever unveiled by the designer who for the last fifteen year has given her private audience a reason to stand and applause. Muujiza wa Amani, meaning -“magic of peace”- was the themed 2014 collection that captured Ramsammy-James’ designing sensibilities, her multi ethnic roots, and more so, her love of Africa where she lived for many years.
The music of South Africa’s Hugh Masekela and Bob Marley set the tone for an evening of elegance in the picturesque courtyard of the designer’s secluded D’Urban Backlands home in Georgetown. The eclectic blend of colorful garments stamped with the designer’s intricate hand painted trademark were cut from cotton and linen fabrics, and created for all shapes and sizes.
