November 2, 2017

The International Designer Show of the Bermuda Fashion Festival was held last night [Nov 1] under the mega-tent on Front Street, with four designers showing off their latest collections, all with a fall flair.

Showing in Bermuda for a second time, designer Karen De Freitas showcased her SOKA line. SOKA has so far appeared at Brooklyn Fashion Week 2015 and The Collection Moda Jamaica, 2015. It has also graced the cover of Seven Tribes Magazine and Bass Culture Magazine and been featured on Vogue.com.

Evelyn Lambert may have a very familiar Bermudian surname but she is a New York-based designer whose brand is defined by classic yet modern designs with a chic sensibility and attainable price point. The brand embodies the personal style and spirit of its designer.

2017 marks the third year that Evelyn Lambert was featured at the Bermuda Fashion Festival where she was excited to also debut her Men’s looks to Bermuda and the world.

She may be a Bermuda girl at heart, but LA-based designer, Alexandra Outerbridge, is making her mark on the global design stage. Self-professed sun-chasers, Alexandra and her co-designer, Ana Ochoa, met as freshmen at the University of Miami.

After graduation they both landed in Los Angeles and knew that a collaboration of their imaginative and creative designer forces would need to be put to the test and AXIL Swimwear was born.

The designers describe their swimwear as, “comfortable, wearable and durable. The line contains bikini tops and bottoms sold as separates and a flirty one-piece. You can browse the AXIL Swim line at www.axilswim.com.

Designers to the stars, Stello and Michael Costello collectively showed their exquisite ensembles, from the Sir Stello menswear collection to children’s formal wear and of course the jaw-dropping gowns that have been donned by many a celebrity.

Michael Costello featured in a video presentation at the show and will also be making a special appearance, in person, at the Bermuda Fashion Expo at Elbow Beach on Saturday where he will be showing one of his collections. The Local Designer Show will be held on Friday, November 3rd, again under the mega-tent at No.1 car park.
