Bajan Model Sedia Jackman Competes In Caribbean’s Next Top Model

Sedia is no stranger to modeling & the public eye. She has made a significant impact on the local Barbados fashion scene, making many appearances on runways & ad campaigns. She even followed in her mother’s footsteps in becoming a Banks Calender Girl! One of the most publicized & renowned beauty titles in Barbados. She also competed in 2011′s Miss Barbados World where she placed second!

Now, Sedia has successfully entered the first official Caribbean installment of the famed America’s Next Top Model franchise. She will be competing against many other beauties from around the region to be the first winner of Caribbean’s Next Top Model. The program is hosted by the fabulous former Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam (from Trinidad & Tobago), who I think is the ideal choice for such a job.

Interview: Model & Former Miss Barbados World Contestant, Paige Warren

On the runway at BB Fashion Week 2012

I’ve had my eye on this new Bajan it-girl for quite a while now. She first caught my attention when she was a contestant in 2011′s Miss Barbados World Pageant. She may not have placed in the final placements but this bombshell did make a huge impression on not just me but the rest of the fashion industry in Barbados.

Since then, Paige has been a regular on the fashion scene, but made her big debut at BB Fashion Week 2012 & was a definite favorite among designers as well as the press. She even managed to continuously wow the crowd with her stunning looks, composed demeanor & subtle sex appeal. I just had to interview this rising star!

So, here we go!!

1. How would you say being in Miss Barbados World has changed you?
Being in Miss Barbados World has made me more poised, confident and focused, it was a great experience for me and the training helped me a lot.

2. Were you as mentally prepared for it (Miss Barbados World) as you thought you were?
I was definitely not mentally prepared for Miss Barbados World as it was my first pageant experience ever and it was more challenging than I had envisioned.
 

3. What is your fondest memory of the pageant?
My fondest memory of the pageant was the group dinner we had a couple weeks away from the crowning night. We generally spent a lot of time together but at dinner we finally got to relax and bond as a family.

4. You’ve become quite a regular face in the fashion industry since the pageant. Would you say the pageant has helped propel you into that spotlight?
Miss Barbados World gave me visibility which I’m grateful for but after the show I got my portfolio in place to further my modeling career.

5. You were a definite favorite at this year’s BB Fashion Week. What was that experience like for you?
As it was my first time at BB Fashion Week, I really enjoyed it because I love the runway and it was a chance for me to model for international designers so I can’t wait for future opportunities.
 

6. Who was your favorite designer at BB Fashion Week, and why?
I loved all the designers but one of my favorite designers at BB Fashion Week was Charles Dieujuste from the USA, his line of clothes were so modern and the colors were so feminine and fluid. I loved it.

7. Do you plan on taking modeling to the next level & aim for an international career?
Yes I do plan on taking modeling to the next level; in 2013 I aim to be an international model and to be signed by an international agency.
 

8. Anything coming up that we should be expecting to see you in?
Let’s just say you should be seeing lots more of me in 2013!
 

9. Let’s talk fashion. How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is very funky fresh chic.
 

10. Do you have a favorite trend/look right now?
My favorite look now is studded clothing, high waist pants, skirts and boots, anything hardcore but still very chic.

11. What’s the one thing you can’t do without when it comes to your wardrobe?
The one thing I can’t do without when it comes to my wardrobe is high waist short jeans! I’m so in love with these!
 

12. Any guilty pleasures?
My guilty pleasure is I snack way too much!

BB Fashion Week 2012: Review

gown by Kenneth Barlis (photo credit: Club Fashion TV)

It must be admitted there were designers who showcased fabulous collections at this year’s BB Fashion Week. Designers such as Kenneth Barlis out of Los Angeles, Kesia Estwick & Brandi Estwick from Barbados (no relation), rocked the runway on the first night. Anicia Brooks & Mark Eastman were my standouts from the second night, both hailing from The Caribbean Academy of Fashion & Design at The University of Trinidad & Tobago. The third & final night ended with a bang, with the well received couture designer from the USA, Charles Corsky Dieujuste.

Let’s start with Kenneth Barlis. Originally from the Philippines, Kenneth brought a taste of the orient to the runway. Particularly with a favorite pieces of mine, made with coral-colored shells which he got from China. He explained to me that this specific dress actually took two months to finish, using the shells to create the intricately designed bodice & hem. To me, his overall standout piece was the feather bottomed gown. What kind of feathers you ask? Rooster feathers!

Brandi Estwick showcased her line ‘Iman Estie’. Her black & white based collection had a modern take on elegance. My favorite piece being the sleeveless white dress with a wide spread collar & black vertical panel going down the middle, which connected to the black lower half of the dress. Perfect for the modern woman of elegance who’s looking for a dose of minimalist chic.

The most anticipated & last designer of the night, Kesia Estwick showcased two collections back to back. The first was ‘Kiss The Girl’. This collection catered more to the fun loving, edgy, youthful fashion risk taker. Kesia used stretch leather, heavy rayon & printed knits with flawless gold beading. Whereas with her second collection ‘Lilith’, which was also for the fashion risk taker but with more of a mature edge, Kesia used manipulated leathers, matte jersey, pleated lame & linen to round off her line. Her standout piece was the dress made of strips of black leather (shown in a photo below).

The second night belonged to students of The University of Trinidad & Tobago. As aforementioned, my standouts were Anicia Brooks & Mark Eastman. Anicia said her “inspiration comes from bikers & their motorcycle gear.” She goes on to describe what she used to put together her looks, “My elements used to build this collection are spikes, studs, distressed denim, patches & fringe. The idea was to create clothing that is tough & rugged, but still feminine.” Designer Mark Eastman drew his inspiration from the Tuareg people, also known as the blue people, a nomadic & pastoral tribe found in the Saharan interior of Northern Africa. Eastman’s collection, ‘Tuareg Tropicalism’, catered to any & every woman of different lifestyles. From cutting edge swimwear to soft & feminine flowing gowns of blue & purple, Mark made a lasting impression.

Finally, the designer we had all been waiting for on the final night. Couture designer, Mr. Charles Corsky Dieujuste. Perfectly targeting the middle ground of soft & edgy, Dieujuste was the icing on the cake of BB Fashion Week. His collection comprised of nude, ivory, blue, turquoise, yellow & gold. His gowns easily grasped the attention of bloggers, stylists & designers in the audience. My favorite piece, however, was actually the ivory blazer which was tailored to perfection.

Rihanna: Most Popular Artist Online For The 4th Week!

RiRi holds the No. 1 spot on the Social 50 music chart for the 4th week in a row. Rihanna is the second most popular artist on the chart, with 11 weeks at No. 1 — behind Justin Bieber (27). Rihanna was also the first number-one act of the Social 50 on December 11, 2010. The Social 50 chart ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, using a formula that blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with weekly artist page views and weekly song plays.

After the song became her 22nd Hot 100 top 10 last week – the fifth-best sum among women in the chart’s more than five-decade history, Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been” pushes 9-8 this week. It bullets again at No. 9 on Radio Songs (74 million, up 14%) and powers 32-23 on On-Demand Songs (335,000, up 17%). On Digital Songs, “Where” falls 6-7 (132,000, down 9%).

Channeling audiences from two massive online fan bases (over 75 million combined fans on Facebook alone) Coldplay’s”Princess Of China” music video featuring Rihanna was able to garner 7 million views in only seven days. That helped Coldplay rack up 14,732,000 views to its VEVO channel during the charting week. The success of the video created a positive impact on both artists’ fan bases. Coldplay added just over 147,000 followers across Twitter, Facebook and Myspace to their overall fan base (a 7% increase) while Rihanna added 407,482.

Coldplay wasn’t the only group to experience online gains riding the coattails of the Rihanna Navy. The greatest gains on the Social 50 this week were the five sisters that make up Cimorelli. The act returns to the top 10, jumping 16-3, reaching a new chart high. The jump comes thanks to the group’s video cover of Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been.” So far, it has earned more than 600,000 views since its debut on June 4.

Threads of Scarlet in Concert! – Review

Booming with excitement and spilling over with anticipation, the atmosphere was nothing less than epic. Saturday night, March 26th 2011, Threads of Scarlet proved to be not only the best rock act in Barbados but showed they are ones to watch.

From jamming to their original musical fusions such as Hot Box (a song promoting marijuana use) or rocking out to Falling From Far, a more classic hard rock ballad fully equipped with screams and high notes, Threads of Scarlet, for lack of better words, BLEW THE ROOF OFF! The event was highly publicised and the fans kept flowing in throughout the night, emitting an atmosphere reminiscent of Woodstock!

The event was also attended by fellow musicians Mahalia Philips of Nexcyx, which recently tore up the SXSW Music Festival in Texas, and Coverdrive‘s Amanda Reifer. Coverdrive got signed to Geffen Records this year and were spending most of their time in the studio. Look out for even more Barbadian musicians abroad.

Rihanna IS IN Barbados!!!!!

Following a night out with friends in NYC the previous evening, Barbados-born international pop star Rihanna as returned home for a much needed rest. She was spotted at at Barbados Grantley Adams International Airport, today(April 3, 2009)!!!!!

Keep your head high girl. If you happen to be reading this, remember, BARBADOS still loves you. 

Funk and Fabric Fashion Show

Hosted by Mr. Trevor Pretty, a renowned choreographer, the Funk and Fabric Fashion Show took off on a low note, but later made up for it with the funky designers and the dynamic supermodels-in-training who put their all into making sure that the audience was entertained.

Despite the show’s very late start, it was a hit amongst the large crowd which it drew. However, this was no ordinary fashion show as it was also a fund-raiser for the eight gorgeous female models to be sent to Canada to further pursue a career in modeling.

One the lovely models, Julianna Durant, has already been signed with one of the visiting Canadian agencies, NAM Model Management.

Special appearances and assistance from supermodel Kimberlyn Parris and supermodel and host of Canada’s Next Top Model, Stacey Mckenzie also contributed to making the event one of the year’s most unforgettable. Featured designers included Blue Moon, high-end boutique The Edge, Jackie Brathwaite, Ashakai, Anya Stephens and the night was topped off by the highly anticipated ‘Absence of Innocence’ fashion line by Kesia Estwick. This was the crowd favorite, as it caters to all those hip and modern women who are not afraid to stand out. Estwick describes the line as ‘glam-punk’, a term that definitely embodies the essence that is ‘Absence of Innocence’. Here are a few photos from the recent shoot for the fashion line, also directed by yours truly.

The true model test was given to the models. They were given the task of transforming an ordinary plastic bag into an outfit that reflected their personality.

Leah Marville Interview!!!!!

Leah Marville, known to put the ‘marvel’ in marvellous, has represented Barbados well by making significant strides in the international modeling industry. Marville, who was first noticed by Saint International Modeling Agency in Jamaica, has made her mark in ad campaigns such as Dunhill cigarettes and American Swiss. However, do not be mistaken and assume that she’s just all looks. This double threat has a law degree under her belt.

 

The Bajan supermodel has taken time out of her extremely hectic schedule to allow me to interview her. Read her interesting story.

Dre: What is your full name?

 

Leah: Leah Janine Marville

Dre: Where did you grow up?

Leah: All my life – St. James Barbados!!!!!

Dre: Do you think the way you were raised or where you were raised has played a significant role in your decision making as a model?

Leah: I do think the way I was raised impacts both my decisions as a model and in life generally. My dad died unexpectedly when I was 11 and my mum raised me on her own. Life changed drastically.. but she always reminded me that Life IS unpredictable and most times it wont go as planned, so treasure every moment, thank God for every opportunity. She also reminded that just as Life gives something to you it can take it away so be prepared and always have a plan B. The life of a model involves taking risks and making strategic decisions and in so doing, you must always be prepared for the unexpected and make sure there is a Plan B – an alternative direction.

Dre: When did you start modeling?

Leah: My first modeling experience was Barbados Fashion Week 2006.

Dre: What agency or agencies are you currently signed with?

Leah: I am signed to Saint International in Jamaica (my mother agency), Base Model Agency in South Africa and East West Models in Germany

Dre: How old (or young lol) are you at present?

Leah: I am 23 years young lol

Dre: Were there any pressures when you were going into the international arena?

Leah: There was one pressure going into the international arena and that was the issue of my height. I am 5ft 7″ and the international height standard for a model is 5ft 9″. My agent therefore had to be strategic about my placement. Luckily, most agencies overlooked my height because they liked my look and so it has not effectively held me back…so far, so good. However, it still is an issue we have to bear in mind and be strategic about.

Dre: What was it like working with Dunhill cigarettes and American Swiss?

Leah: It was such a great experience working for both campaigns. The Dunhill shoot took place at a gorgeous five story glass house overlooking the ocean. The styling was only the best couture in Cape Town which made the whole experience very glamorous. American Swiss was similar styling and setting but I definitely did not have the time to bask in the glamour of that shoot. In fact I think that shoot is still the hardest I’ve worked to date. I had to be at location by 6 in the morning. The shoot started at 8 and was scheduled to finish by 6 in the evening before the sun set. There were 24 shots to be done. That is 24 different outfits, shoes, hairstyles, make-up, nails…Between hair and makeup after every shot it seemed impossible that we would finish on time. However hard work did pay off.. We finished before the sun set and the shots were great! The client was very happy..so i was very happy. It was a great experience and I finally felt the pressures and hard work that go into the job of a model.

Dre: Are there any particular jobs you would like to be booked for?

Leah: COVER GIRL!!!!! REVLON!!!! VICTORIA’S SECRET!!!!!!!

 

Dre: What about in the near future, anything in the works?

Leah: I have a new campaign that is supposed to come out in April. There is BET J’s Wick’d Style Television Programme and maybe a project on the national level.

Dre: What are your hobbies?

Leah: Dancing, reading and watching movies.

Dre: Beach or cinema?

Leah: Difficult choice…hmm…both

Dre: Bar or club?

Leah: Lounge

Dre: Finish the sentences. You are…

Leah: ….truly a humble and appreciative soul

Dre: Fashion is…

Leah: ….the way of the world.

Dre: You would like to……right now.

Leah: I would like to….go swimming….right now.

Dre: You are craving…..this very moment.

Leah: craving….lucky charms…this very moment.

Dre: If you were not a fashion model, you would be a …..

Leah: ….Lawyer.

Dre: What are your plans after modeling? Planning to put that law degree to good use?

Leah: I actually plan to go back to Norman Manley this September to finish my Legal Certificate. Law is very important to me and it is something I have to finish…so before I get caught up in a world wind of modeling and 5 years have passed before I realize where I’m at…I will finish and be called to the Bar. After that anything can happen..I do ultimately plan to use both my fashion experience and my legal degree after modeling…who knows, I may find some niche career…lol

Dre: Finally, if you could say anything to the world right now, what would you like to say to them?

Leah: Sometimes the going gets tough…but continue to focus, Hold on TIGHT and DREAM ON!!!!!!
