Lightbulb Coskel University Launch

So I and a small crew went to the function, and I must say despite all derisive talk of JRG Fashion Cafe it's a VERY cool vibe that place (but I guess if it's a ram jam fete I could see the problem ). My companions and I arrived at about 8:15, and the event was set up not too many people on the inside, as the night progressed the setting remained relatively intimate, with nice music, nice vibes and NICE clothes!

The models worked the small but very interested audience, as one of the creators explained the creative and historical context of the designs. The pieces, as the designer explained, are "art expressed through clothing." The Caribbean as a region, as we all know, has much art and culture that deserves spotlight.

Overall, I would say that I expect to see many good things in there future from this company!

Please check out coskeluniversity.com for pics, as I know there were plenty being taken by the designers. I expect that they will be posting them on their website soon enough.

For the record we left there well after 10 PM...

The merchandise (tanks, tees & a small selection of canvas bags) was on sale. My friend bought one of the rapso inspired Poetic Religion shirts.
