operation January 2006. The founder and CEO
Carla Hazel was inspired by the diverse ethnic
features and the multi-cultures in the
Caribbean.
Carla embraces her
Caribbean roots, culture and foundation entwined
with her North American experiences to cultivate
a new sense of fashion. Carla has long been
setting trends in fashion on the Caribbean
Island of Dominica, with the advantage of a
seamstress grandmother, known as Iona DeFoe.
Grandma Iona created a
variety of fashionable designs including
Dominica’s National Dress and many Carnival
Costumes in her time. Carla’s early teachings
from grandma Iona, her mother Shirley Hazel and
her Aunt Euella Marie inspired her own unique
creations and fashion quest.
Carla seriously
began making her mark in fashion at the
1985
Miss Dominica Fashion Model Contest and held the
“First Runner-Up” title.
The following year Carla became the first ever
Miss Dominica Zodiac 1986.
And as if this was not enough, Carla went on to
compete in one of the island’s most prestigious
competitions,
“Miss Dominica Carnival Queen”
where she made an impact with a costume designed
by her sister Caryl Hazel called “The Pride Of
Dominica.”
