Courtney Washington's pucker fabric line is uniquely remarkable because while it is sensual, chic, and classic, it was developed with the modern woman and her fast-paced life in mind, as they are completely washable and wrinkle-proof. The instantly modish effect of wearing the pucker fabric transcends the entire collection, which includes other fabrics such as linen and silk. We are now past the summer season and heading into Fall, so it is necessary to wear breathable fabric that still looks elegant and is wearable.
'Style in Evolution' is not only representative of Jamaica's resiliently colourful culture, but also a statement that embodies the vision of fashion, which internationally renowned fashion designer Courtney Washington, with the help of framed eyewear experts Eye Q Optical, will bring into clear focus.
The combination of Courtney's eye for detail, his ability to manifest his stylistic intuition through his couture, and Eye Q's focus on unique, high-quality frames, produces fun and timeless fashion.
Washington began designing custom-tailored garments for full-figured women who were frustrated with the inferior quality and lack of style that was available. Since then, Washington's line of clothing has grown to encompass women of all sizes. His flawless ability to construct clothes with a woman's body, shape and curves in mind is evident throughout his collection because each piece looks impeccable on every woman, as if it were made specifically for her.
