The Caribbean Style and Culture Awards and Fashion showcase is an annual event hosted by Karib Nation Inc. in the month of June in honor of National Caribbean-American Heritage Month. For the past eight years, the event has showcased the best of the Caribbean designers and has provided for them a platform to gain worthwhile recognition among the Caribbean Diaspora. This year, the event was hosted on June 17 at the Silver Spring Civic Center, Silver Spring, Maryland amidst a crowd of over 300 persons. The group of awardees included seven Caribbean designers and models from Dominica, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Jamaica and Suriname whose work has made them outstanding role models in their craft. The designers were also given a chance to showcase their work before a private group of Community business leaders and Caribbean Ambassadors, including H.E Brigadier General (Ret’d.) Anthony W.J. Phillips-Spencer and Mrs. Spencer, Jamaica’s ambassador H.E.Audrey P. Marks, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines H.E. Lou-Anne Gaylene Gilchrist at a Pre-Show on June 15 at the Guyana Embassy in Washington, DC.

Hosted annually in June, the Caribbean Style and Culture Runway Showcase is a fusion of fashion, music, and art while showcasing the best of Caribbean talent. First held in June 2009 to commemorate and celebrate National Caribbean American Heritage Month, CSC captures the flair, glamour, elegance, and authenticity of the Caribbean. Furthermore, it creates a platform for budding and prominent designers and models to expand their brand, build their network, and display their creativity and talent to the diaspora.
Most importantly, the CSC Showcase seeks to recognize and award Caribbean Designers, Models, Photographers, and Makeup Artists for the significant contributions made to the arts and fashion industry in the region.
In the past 10 years, the Caribbean Style and Culture Awards have certainly evolved into an all-encompassing cultural extravaganza that sees attendance from Caribbean Diplomats and other Officials of the Diaspora. To date, our proudest moment was to be honored by the presence of the First Lady of Guyana, Mrs. Sandra Granger, who hailed the event as important in the recognition of the work of Caribbean artists in the fashion industry.
As we continue in our growth, we aim to ensure that Caribbean artists are continually given a platform to grow and develop their talents.
