DOMINICAN FASHION DESIGNER TO SHOW AT THE 2ND ANNUAL VIRGIN ISLANDS
FASHION WEEK.
St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands (September, 2008) - Swimwear designer,
Natasha Chasseau, originally from the Nature Isle of the Caribbean,
Dominica will present her fall 2008 collection of exotic swimwear and
elegant evening gowns at the 2nd annual Virgin Islands Fashion Week
being held on St. Thomas from October 9 -13th, 2008.
Miss. Natasha Chasseau is a former model and queen contestant, who
knows a thing or two about swimwear and elegant gowns. Tired with the
same, simple, uncomfortable, under-designed, boring styles, she
decided to launch a line in 2007. The Dominican National uses her
artistic talent inherited from her father, creativity, and her passion
for fashion, to create luxury designs that are superbly chic.
Designing under the label NK Designs, Natasha, who currently resides
on Anguilla will bring to the runway her unique creativity and
ingenuity with a collection of swimwear that are Sexy, Sophisticated,
feminine and glamorous, all the qualities inherent to the NK Design
woman. Since NK Designs conception, they have been featured at a
number of events/shows and have graced the stage at the following;
Ø Miss Sandy Island in December of 2007 in Anguilla ,
Ø International Soca Monarch Night hosted by the Dominica Festivals
Commission in February
Ø Sweet Escape hosted by Janay Raymond of Feelo Je Designs in March
of 2008

Henry R. Marsham, jr and Dominican, Vern Tonge, who says she very
excited to have participation from her beloved home county and hope to
have a bigger representation for next year that will include models as
well.
Although in its 2nd year of production, Virgin Islands Fashion Week
has already garnered support and recognition across the Caribbean and
abroad. The event was the 2008 recipient of the People's Choice Awards
for Best Fashion Show/Week at the Caribbean Fashion Awards in Trinidad .

Natasha on the Caribbean Catwalk Runway Show, the signature runway
event of Virgin Islands Fashion Week on October 12th at the Wyndham

The featured guests will include former America 's Next Top Model

encourage more Dominican designers to get out and show their talents.
