makin’ style promises to be more than a periodical publication with feature stories. This is a magazine with an edge, revealing interesting truths and catering to investigative minds, which treats simple Caribbean realities with a refreshing honesty and a celebratory spirit.
The launch of the makin’ style Magazine goes down this Saturday, April 13, 2013 at the Herdmanston Lodge, in a celebratory spirit, that is reflective of the publication’s intention.
Publisher, Sonia Noel, Guyana’s own Fashion Queen, mentions that “this magazine is a milestone in our history. We will be able to proclaim to the world, our culture, our life, our point of view”.
It is an accumulation of the interest points and contributions of subject matter experts both here in the Caribbean and in the regional Diaspora. A melting pot of the ‘Caribbeanistic’ distinctions, methodologies, and approach, which signals the dawn of a global trend.
Being an all inclusive regional publication, the honour of it being compiled and put together in Guyana, warrants the kudos of a higher level of production. This brings attention to the reformation of our Tourism product and the generation of more attraction to this particular field.
A-listers from every facet of the business, entertainment and cultural fraternities have been invited to witness the advent of what has become an editorial phenomenon.
Editor-in-Chief, Richard Young, Trinidadian Impresario and Caribbean Fashion Guru, quotes: “makin’ style is a feel-good read which makes you appreciate greatly, being Caribbean.
In many ways, we create this distinctive, alternative style—we act independently, we adapt innovatively, we ascribe imaginatively, we animate ingeniously, we accumulate inventively and we accentuate invigoratively.”
Noel will also be launching her new collection from Sonia Noel Designs called ‘First Resort’, as a compliment to an evening that promises a breath of fresh air and the realisation of an ambitious vision. ‘First Resort’ is an assortment of breezy ready-to-wear casuals, easily transformable, into trendy classic wear.
makin’ style will also be launching in St. Lucia on April 21st, Tobago Fashion Week in mid-May, Atlanta, USA for Memorial Weekend slated for the end of May and New York, USA on June 2nd as part of the festivities of the Caribbean Week in NY. The magazine will also go live in Grenada in mid-July.
Part proceeds of sales from this Magazine will assist the Sonia Noel Foundation for the Creative Arts to achieve their objective to garner and nurture creative talent not only in Guyana but also in the Caribbean.
CaribDirect congratulates Sonia on the creation of what is likely to be a fantastic magazine adding value to the Creative Industries sector of the Caribbean.
