“When a Dancehall girl walk in, everybody head turn. That is the power of Dancehall”
-Earl “Biggy” Turner, Reggae Fashion Icon
An interpretation of Dancehall boudoir. This collection takes the popular styles of urban magazines and reimagines them to the rhythm of Reggae. The main garment, known as a ‘Marina’, is a staple in Jamaican street style. Made popular in past decades by rude bwoys, here it is presented as soft and sensual lingerie bringing more of a Lover’s Rock angle. It brings a contrasting energy from the shocking vibes style of the alternative look. This bright and bold interpretation is fundamental in its own right; a nod to the more extreme signature styles of Dancehall.
