Caribbean menswear label Millhouse presents “a perfect combination of ‘Caribbean chic’ meets Savile Row”



Port of Spain, June 24, 2014 - Millhouse brought the Caribbean to Savile Row in a private menswear presentation on Sunday, June 15, 2014 at the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in London. The presentation, ‘Intersection: The Caribbean Meets Savile Row’, marked the re-launch of Milllhouse after a hiatus to pursue technical capacity development, which was aptly pursued in London. Intersection explored the recent journey of the Caribbean based and Savile Row trained label. The brand’s leads Coline Baptiste Mills and Gregory Mills stated, “intersection is a visual reflection of who we are, what we have become and where we a heading.”

The presentation took the form of a static showcase featuring 12 looks – all footed by luxury shoe brand Mr Hare. Imagine...colour rebellion meets refinement, tropical casual meets sartorial splendour, and Caribbean ease meets British dandy, those were the key characterisations of the brand’s presentation. Commenting on the presentation Erica Wong of Conde Naste lauded the designer’s craftsmanship and abilities to be on-trend yet unique. She remarked, “I love the quality of the tailoring and the infusion of colour—it evokes a tropical vibe.”

The re-launch presentation was facilitated by GCaribbean Magazine in partnership with ACU|BIEN and supported by the Ministry of Tourism.
