This November OCEAN Style will celebrate the fifth year of hosting its FashionShowcase and will honour Trinidad born Meiling Esau with its annual OCEAN Style Foundation Award. The Foundation Award was established to honour those who have not only succeeded in establishing themselves as a force within the fashion industry, but have also gone above and beyond in promoting the overall visibility of the Caribbean’s talent and reputation in the global fashion industry.

OCEAN Style, the Caribbean’s premier authority on fashion and upscale living, is gearing up to celebrate its fifth year of excellence with the greatly anticipated return of the OCEAN Style Fashion Showcase Weekend in Montego Bay, Jamaica from November 2-4.

OCEAN Style Fashion Showcase and Celebrity Golf Invitational is one of the most prestigious events in the region encompassing an exciting programme of fashion shows, chic parties and golf events attracting an eclectic array of some of the world’s most recognizable designer brands including Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Roberto Cavalli all starring alongside some of the Caribbean’s most famous designers Meiling and Sandra Kennedy and under the watchful gaze of a plethora of celebrities, actors and sports stars.

Like the athletes who represented  ‘the Rock’ with stellar performances at the 2012 Olympics in London, Mission Catwalk Season 2 winner Gregory Williams is ready to make his mark on the European city when he arrives for his studies at the London College of Fashion and master tailor Andrew Ramroop’s Sevile Row Academy next month.

“It’s not that I didn’t know before, but their accomplishments really convinced me that the sky is the limit,” says the 28 year old Cross Roads native. “I just want to go there and give it my all. Jamaica need fi deya pon di fashion map.”

Twenty eight year-old Cross Roads Jamaica resident Gregory Williams is the mission Catwalk Season 2 winner and will be heading to London Fashion Week later this year as part of his wining package valued at $3 million dollars.

The designer, who won one prior challenge on the show, had a tearful reaction to the announcement made on Tuesday’s finale episode.

“When I heard my name, I couldn’t help it. This was a competition and I had worked hard so it was just a relief to get to the end.”
