Hot trends for 2025? Thrifting, which is very popular among Gen Z – so, many vintage and ’90s-inspired garments, such as baggy clothing with teeny tank tops or crop tops. Clothing inspired by anime, pop art and cartoons is making a comeback, while Carnival-inspired festival wear is also set to dominate the local fashion market.

Kaphill
by Krystal Phillips | Jamaica
Design focus? Women’s ready to wear.
Unique selling point? I believe all women deserve luxury, whether it be luxury clothing or experiences – and at accessible price points. We aren’t just one thing, we are many, just like the Caribbean. I pull inspiration from the complexities of women and what we want to embody in a specific moment – it could be sexy, chic, powerful, joyful, or romantic.
Three words to describe your style? Bold, chic and playful.
Hot trends for 2025? Joy. Clothing that makes people smile – we are tired of the capsule wardrobes and everyone looking the same. There are no rules for joy. Wear what makes you happy.

Mon Serrai
by Stephanie Bridge | Antigua & Barbuda
Design focus? Handcrafted wearable art sterling silver jewellery, inspired by and made for island life.
Unique selling point? Dainty but durable jewellery handmade in Antigua, the pieces draw inspiration from the unique nuances of island life: the ocean, the waves, the beaches, coral, flora and fauna. My pieces include pearls, shells, sea glass and stones reminiscent of our tropical home.
Three words to describe your style? Minimal, elegant and island-inspired.
Hot trends for 2025? An emphasis on personal style expression will continue to be at the forefront, while organic and natural textures and designs will be on the rise, as will an interest in beautifully coloured stones. I see bolder pieces or stacking and layering continuing, plus an increased desire for sustainable and ethically sourced materials such as recycled metals and lab-grown gemstones.
