This summer Caribbean Fashion Spot will bring you the first ever Caribbean fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam. Six designers in the mid- and high segment will be showing their beautiful and inspiring collection on Saturday July 11, 2015 in the ‘Gashouder’, both clothing and accessories. The fashion labels that will be featured are all very different from one another, but all have that Caribbean touch to it.
