The Caribbean Fashion Week 2014 in Kingston, Jamaica was the first international Fashion Week I’ve been to and therefore it’s definitely going in my Fashion History Book. It was a pleasure and honor to be there as one of the media to capture this event from the frontline for Dy Muñeca the Caribbean Fashion Spot. Like I told you before in this post about CFW, I was there as a part of the Caribbean Fashion Spot. That’s why I talk about “we” in my Jamaica posts.

To honor this legend who will never be forgotten I would like to take a moment to remember him and share my favorite video of him starring actor Eddy Murphy and model Iman Abdulmajid. Which video do you think it is? Excuse the puns (which were a little bit intended). Continue reading “Tribute to Michael Jackson”
