FOR this collection, we used prints that reflect Guyana’s rich history, says designers, Nadia and Natalya Thomas. According to the girls, “Slavery was a way of life; many suffered through the system of indentureship, and we endured colonial rule.
“We have surpassed those years to now being a united, free and developing nation.? “The clothing line highlights many aspects of our history: The 1763 Monument is a constant reminder of the shackles that were broken, so that the children of this soil can now live happy and free lives.
“The strength and resilience we inherited empowered us to fight to become a free nation in 1966.
“The St. George’s Cathedral, being a major landmark in Guyana, shows how, as a nation, we have grown to even making history through our infrastructure by having the tallest wooden building in the world. “Also, our rich flora and fauna are depicted, highlighting our natural beauty and resources.
“As designers, we are proud to portray various aspects of Guyana and its culture through fashion. It is within this dear land that we were molded into becoming who we are today.”
The collection consists of dresses, tops, pants skirts and jumpsuits. Enjoy!
