May would remember him as that somewhat disturbed kid who was desperately trying his hand at music in Guyana, and let’s be honest here…. Failing miserably at it too…But come on folks, don’t let’s go hating now…. That must not have been his calling, and so ever we miss our intended paths or get lost in a tangled maze as we try to find our ‘true calling’. And Guyana’s Carlos ‘Lucky B’ Williams like so many others made a few plunders until he landed on the jackpot.
I guess he never even dreamed he possessed a dazzling designing talent and when he did, he was brutalized by the hateful claws of many established designers who just would not move over and gave ‘fresh faces’ a chance to shine.
But ‘Lucky B’ as he is more popularly known persevered despite the hateful critics and is quite a force to be reckoned with on the fashion front in the United States of America and several Caribbean locations where his talents were acknowledged and allowed to shine. It’s a pit his star could not shine here because of harsh criticism from others who really when you come to think of it could not better this lad at designing or even singing which he was not good at.
Today he has nurse his wounds inflicted here on the local shores and have persevered to become one of the more creative and stylish male designers to have evolved from the tropics.
Let’s go back a little…
If we can step back a little we would remember in December 2008 when he launched his ‘She Stush’ fashion line which was actually his fifth collect after he was encouraged by veteran designer Sonia Noel to showcase his talents at the Guyana Fashion Weekend event.
Before that he had actually started playing around with a few designing ideas in his small stall inside the Bourda Mall and the results were astounding. Quite soon many were flocking his stall to access the new fashion craze and quite soon the ‘Stush Fashions’ became the ‘in thing’ especially amongst the mails far and wide.
In 2008 added model scouting to his resume and has organized a supermodel face-off competition at the Aracari Resort.
The event generated much buzz and young women desirous of being the next big thing in local modeling circles began been lining up. According to there Lucky B there were indeed plans take the show on the air, but all did not go as planned.
Not long after he retired from the music industry here to focus on his designing. And that was indeed a good thing because today he is creating shockwaves with his catchy and colourful pieces.
Here are photos to showcase his excellent work in the field of designing. Bombshell applauds this talented lad and wishes him success in all his endeavours.
