| Meet Trish Ramsay of TK Raffine in Ocho Rios |
Now for many people who live in Jamaica, Fashion only exists in Kingston but for the rest of us who make up the general consensus we know for a fact that Kingston only makes up a small portion of the fashionable Islands fashion demographic. It has been predicted that in the next ten years Jamaica will become a solid member of the worlds Fashion Capitals, over the past five years Jamaica has given birth to many local designers including shoe makers designing original designs that are doing quite well overseas.
I would like to introduce to you a woman I have known since I was a child and can personally contest to her love of fashion and trendsetting ways, meet Trish Ramsay stylist, Makeup artist and owner of one of the most popular boutiques in Ocho Rios.
Trish has dabbled in designing but at the moment she's carrying pieces that are designed by other designers both locally and International.
