Isn't that just the most punchiest, vibrant, summer-ready Tee you've ever seen? Debuting the collection of cotton, illustrated tops at this year's Fashion Week T&T, Mario Lewis took his painterly talents as an Artist, and successfully applied them to these Tees, thus marking his foray as a street/sportswear designer,
But as much as I love the Tees and want - so badly - to spread the word on the collection, there's only so much and no more that I can tell you. And why? Because, as usual with some of the Caribbean designers, there's next to no info out there about the actual collection!
I only know that the Tees are designed by Lewis because I'm familiar with his style, and because I saw some of his creations when I briefly worked with him eons ago at the Queens Hall/Noble Douglas Theatre Camp, where he was the Art instructor and I was a head counselor. And also, because he walked the runway at the end of his show.
As for the name of the line, the price points, where to get them, etc, I can't tell you a thing. I can't even point you to a rundown website or old blog that has info! So unless you're pals with the Artist, I wish you luck in finding the tops, and getting your hands on one of these tees.
When, oh when, will they learn?

Once again, you are right on! Is it that designers think that a fashion show is entertainment and not actually marketing that supposed to end in a purchase? I had to literally stop Anya Ayoung Chee in passing (like a groupie!) to ask where I could buy pieces from her Pilar line. The whole idea to raise demand is to satisfy it, no?
Steups - Sometimes it's just so damn frustrating! Did she tell you where she's selling the collection?
