FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kingston, Jamaica - The clouds have been setting for what is expected to be showers of 'Raine' on International Night II at Reggae Sumfest 2010, where international R&B super star Usher is expected to take the stage. Or is it a hurricane by the name of 'Raine Seville', the DASECA Productions First Lady?

This Saturday July 24, 2010, the Digicel stage at the annual festival will come to life whenever the highly fashionable Raine Seville steps on to perform. Her fans "Nah Go Argue" with the fact that she will show her high class with a stunning performance, leaving others on the stage wondering "What To Do", but it might be "Too Late" as the fans will be screaming out "Drive Me Crazy" to their favorite singer, Raine Seville.

Raine is not your typical Reggae / Dancehall songstress as she has proven over the years as she grows from strength to strength that she is intent on inflicting her own flair & style into the music while writing, singing, dancing & ofcourse... dressing. So nothing less is expected on the Digicel stage as she plans to give her fans more than they expect from her, nothing short of pure excellence, the perfect birthday gift & present for her & to her fans which she celebrates on Sunday July 25, 2010.

The wheels of the machines have stopped spinning and the catwalks are down models off to their different international castings and the model agencies counting the earnings and losses. The official fashion season for Jamaica has ended with the staging of Saint Internationals Fashion Block held weeks ago in New Kingston. So as the dust settles and the designers market the designs for sale the question is raised: who staged a better production?

Caribbean Fashion Week(CFW) hosted by Pulse was held this year at the National Indoor Sports Center as they always do giving the opportunity for small designers to showcase designs or samples of work by displaying booths as well as for sponsors to brand at the event. This strategy allowed for the consumer and the designers to bond closer during the short breaks and before and after the show. Making for some lasting contacts and business partnerships to be made. Kingsly Cooper and his team with the 10th anniversary staging of Caribbean Fashion Week 2010 did fall in some parts however they must be firstly commended on fostering the business aspect of fashion.

Caribbean Fashion Week held over a total of three days with the exception of the workshops and business functions was a fashion week that as one entered each setting saw the level of preparation from the high level of respect to the members of the press to patrons the CFW team displayed superior organizational qualities. The models at CFW also displayed a high professional behavior and proper ethics while going about their business. The production team led by international fashion producer Richard Moody must also be commended for a timely show though with late starts they started with a 'bang'.
