A release form the show producer said: âThe creative Industry in St Vincent and the Grenadines is one of the sectors that are being focused on as one of the areas that can be an income generator for the country. However, since this is a non-traditional area, it needs developing and this development cannot be left only to the government.
âAgencies like the Le Andre modeling Agency and other stake holders must play their part. Since the fashion industry is a focal point at this time, we must look for new ways to encourage the youths in this sector. The fashion industry has had an insatiable need for new creative talents in order to propel itself onward. The objective, therefore, of the SVG Young and Upcoming Design Competition is thus to discover and nurture new talents and new blood in the design industry while provide young aspiring designers with an opportunity to showcase their talents.â
The show will begin at 7:00 p.m.
