Jawara Alleyne featured in Met Costume Institute exhibit
London-based, Caymanian fashion designer Jawara Alleyne has been featured in the latest exhibition from the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, which explores the history and importance of style in the formation of Black identities.
“Being selected to be featured in this monumental moment in history as a Black designer from the Caribbean is an incredible honour,” Alleyne told the Cayman Compass.
The looks selected for the exhibition come from collections that interrogate Alleyne’s own identity and explore “the intersections of Caribbean heritage, in particular Caymanian heritage, and personal mythology through the language of tailoring and craftsmanship”.
