Tailored Jamaican is Saturday, October 28 at The Pegasus!

Tailored Jamaican is Saturday, October 28 at The Jamaica Pegasus from 10AM – 7PM
Fashion Show at 3PM; Entry: J$2500 (Kids Free)

This year, we have an exciting, bold vision for corporate wear aligned with key trends accelerated by the COVID pandemic, chief among them being the growing flexibility to work from home, the office, and even in between the office and corporate mixers with versatile wear. Our new reality presents a golden opportunity to re-imagine corporate wear, but it has also blurred the lines between fashion forward corporate and professional faux pas.

Tailored Jamaican stands at this important cross section for companies deciding on the future of corporate wear for their people. Our event will highlight fashion from a thoughtful selection of artisans, showcasing handcrafted, handmade, and locally designed items unique to their own craft. 

For five years, Suga Lifestyle has been dedicated to promoting talented local entrepreneurs and MSMEs, including our own GW ART brand, and bridging the gap between MSMEs poised for growth and wider market opportunities. We achieve this through pop-up events and expos. In October 2021, we held our premiere of Tailored Jamaican at The Jamaica Pegasus to great success. Hosted on the same, popular, island wide shopping weekend, we empowered local artisans with the opportunity to showcase and sell their products under one roof. Last year, celebrity guest Cedric the Entertainer made a special appearance to watch the fashion show and shop Jamaican.

This year’s Fashion Show will feature talented designers seeking opportunities to expand their footprint in the market, to create and display fashion-forward corporate wear that demonstrates their skill and keen sense of style. Designs from their fall collection will also hit the runway.

Come and connect with our artistic vendors, network with business leaders and socialise with family and friends. With your support, our ability to impact our creative industry will be elevated. All while being exposed to the Suga Lifestyle curated experience of enjoying beverages, tasty bites and shopping.

Tickets go on Sale Soon and Stay tuned for more details!

XoXo,
Suga

TAILORED JAMAICAN Returns to The Pegasus, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28!


Are you ready?!

As we are currently faced with the new norm of operating post pandemic, persons are either still dressed in ‘cookie-cutter uniforms’ or may be bordering along the lines of too casual since persons visit the office less.
We wish to modernize and define day-to-day Corporate attire, but retain professionalism.

We invite you to see through the eyes of our Designers. We are Out of Many One People, but still have a European Influence. Let’s create the look that layers less clothes, lowering energy costs, yet is bold and remains professional, setting us apart as Out of Many One People.

Although Apparel and Accessories will be the highlight, we will have our selected Artisans showcasing their products representing the island’s creative industries, all in the Suga Lifestyle Curated environment of Tasty Bites and Beverages.

Happy Monday and Thank You JIS for this Feature!

Aubyn Hill (centre), pictured with Owner of Pickle Mi Pickle, Janelle Wilkinson, her daughter, April Lyn (Top Left) and Valerie Veira, CEO of Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) (top right); also in conversation with (from left), CEO of JBDC, Valerie Veira and CEO, Suga Lifestyle, Gabrielle Burgess, at Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch, on August 18 at the AC Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica.

Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch held over a week ago highlighted Suga Lifestyle’s GW Art pictured, and our promotion of local businesses and entrepreneurs, with a focus on the Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) sector, showcasing Art, Fashion, Food and Lifestyle.

However, as with most of our Events, another observation was highlighted by our Keynote Speaker, Senator the Honourable, Aubyn Hill. Though a few male vendors were showcased, vendors were predominantly female, also highlighting the critical role of Women and their contribution to the Creative Industry and Commerce, which remains vital to the stimulation of our economy.

We Empower MSMEs, but have to give kudos to and showcase that the the driving force behind the majority of the Businesses we select, happen to be Women. That says a lot in 2023. Is the World Ready?
