Fash|Art is an event platform created for emerging Bahamian fashion designers and visual artists to showcase their talent and present them with career launching opportunities.
In 2010, certified Project Manager, event producer & fashion enthusiast Kedar Clarke, created the concept during his tenure as Operations Manger of Mode Iles Ltd, producers of the renowned Islands of the World Fashion Week. “I’ve been able to meet designers from all around the world, most of whom are supported within their homeland. For me it was quite embarrassing to know that in The Bahamas, we offered no substantial or consistent outlet for fashion designers or visual artists to express their creativity outside of their small circles. I was determined and excited to get to work on making Bahamians see and respect our own world-class, talented citizens”.

Mr. Clarke has since partnered with creative geniuses and visual artists, Scharad Lightbourne & Nikolas Barnes, editors of the online publication Stylezine Magazine, which highlights individuals within the art, fashion and entertainment industries. “The partnership with these two powerhouses emphasizes my vision even further; to see young, capable minds direct others down the pathway of greater success”, says Mr. Clarke.
Fash|Art is set to take place on Saturday November 5, 2011 at Doongalik Studios.
Fash|Art is a bi-annual event tailored to give designers and artists in varied age and years of experience range the opportunity to showcase and compete for coveted titles and prizes.
