CYNTHIA Bailey, a renowned television personality, model is set to host the cricket Carnival edition of the Guyana Fashion Showcase (GFS) slated for today at the Castellani House, in Georgetown.
The event will feature the work of several big names in the local fashion industry, as well as the work of up and coming designers.

The well-known model said, “I am so excited, so honoured to be here in Guyana for my first time, as the host of this amazing fashion showcase. I’m very, very excited and honoured to be here. I’ve been here for one day now, and my experience has just been unforgettable. Very memorable.”
Cynthia explained that she was looking forward to meeting all of the designers expected to display their work at today’s show.

“I’m just excited to just have a good time and just bring more exposure to the Guyanese fashion industry here. I think it’s important for me as a fashion and a beauty brand to use my platform to highlight and give exposure to different places that need more eyeballs,” she told reporters.
