Macafouchette – More than a Fashion Story
Macafouchette… More than a Fashion Story took place on November 08, 2009, at the Dretchi Compound in Wrightson Road, P.O.S. “Macafouchette”, a French-Creole term meaning food left over from previous meals usually combined to make one big meal, or according to director Richard Young, “a little of this, and a little of that” was exactly the scene that evening. Clothes of all descriptions worn by models of various heights and sizes created a colorful potpourri of fashion that could be appreciated by those with bold tastes or by those who prefer their clothing to be more subdued. See the album for the manifold fashion expressions that, like a hot pot of pelau, will make your mouth water.
