On Saturday 29 June 2025, the Centre of Excellence in Macoya became the heartbeat of Caribbean style as Fashion Passion 5 delivered a night of bold creativity, rich culture, and unapologetic flair. From lighting to layout, models to music, this fifth installment was a clear elevation—and the audience felt it.
It was more than a fashion show. It was a movement. From the first model’s strut to the final pose, patrons were captivated by a seamless flow of energy and elegance. The crowd responded in kind, with glowing reviews that captured the spirit of the night. The host, Tyler Thomas kept the wheels of the turning with her wit, personality and energy.
“Creative! It is where creatives come alive,” said Shantel Esdelle, her words echoing the sense of freedom of artistic expression felt throughout the room.
Michelle Alexander remarked, “When I saw the designers, I thought I saw new, upcoming designers. The word that comes to mind is ‘fresh’! The show was colourful and rich in fashion.”
Fashion Passion loyalist, Vernel Letren did not hold back: “Phenomenal! Love the designs, love the setup, absolutely amazing!”
Photographer Chris Searles observed, “From the last edition I have been to… now it’s completely different. It has improved tremendously.”
Nine designers brought their vision to life on the runway:
Cassanova Le Perre – Beaded Designs by Nova
Corina Lochai – Casave
Halcyon Jeffrey – Josiah Fashion House
Kerby Young – Kerby Young Designs
Luana Pierre-Marcano – Valrea’s Design
Shaun Griffith Perez – SGP Resort Wear
Sheldon M. Warner – S.M. Warner Artwithattitude

Guiding the vision behind it all was founder and Creative Director Terrence La Caille, whose simple yet powerful response to the question “What is Fashion Passion?” summed up the evening perfectly… “It’s everything.”
On that night, it truly was from start to finish. Fashion Passion 5 was not just a display of garments—it was a declaration of growth, grit, and greatness. The Caribbean fashion scene is thriving, and this show made it loud and clear: the future is already here.
