Jus Wee launches its 2017 band

Among the sections highlighted on the night were “Steampunk Love Affair”, “Aviator”, “A Bridal Ting”, “Camelot”, “Vacqueros”, “Conductor”, “Era of Flair & Fantasies”, “Mad Scientist” and “Queen Victoria”.

Guests also got glimpses of section spin-offs “Valentine Bride”, “Fantasy of Copper & Lace”, “Retro Futurism”, “Wedding Night” and “Bridesmaid”.

Placide indicated that it is a mix of 19th century England’s Victoria era and America’s Wild Wild West with bit of modern technology.

She said it is just the art of making something elegant out of random pieces of things considered junk or scrap into something elegant, new and impressive.

Among the designers bringing the concept to life are Marion George, Janelle Greaves, Devon Jerome, Michelle Huggins and Aaron Humphrey.

Placide said the presentation is about creativity and imagination in fashion and a tribute to its co-founder Earl Crosby. And come Carnival Monday and Tuesday next year the all-inclusive band will be provided with road music by DJ Crosby Sounds.

Registration for the band has started at Crosby’s in St James.
