T
wenty-five year old Deisha Baxam of Sangre Grande, Trinidad,
has always been inspiredby art and fashion. Her exposure to the different
cultures in the twin island Republic in which she was raised, helped to
nurture her natural talent and gift from God.
In 2010, Deisha dared to launch a fashion show entitled “The Serengeti”,
inspired by the theme from the Serengeti plains of Africa. This young star
went even further in 2013 to represent Trinidad and Tobago in the West
Indies International Festival at Canoe Bay Beach Resort, Tobago, where on
the runway she displayed her costume designs, which were featured on the
road for Trinidad Carnival Celebrations 2014 in the band ‘Petlemas’.
This commendable entrepreneur, who officially founded her company Deisha Dare Designs on August 1st 2010, says that her mission is to take
fashion to the next level by enhancing and incorporating artistic expressions
with fashion through hand painting, batik and tie dye.
No stranger to high end fashion, she has worked closely with top designers
such as Fashon Dandy, Deson Ayinde Sealey, Sheldon Warner and Richard
Noel along with many others. This, she claims was her breakthrough. She
was able to create remarkable pieces for clients she never thought she
would be able to interact with. Some of these are Gage Amighty (Jamaican
Dancehall Artiste), Skinny Banton from Grenada, Wave Element from
Barbados, Whiteflag Entertainment, HS Productions, Fantasy Faces,
Orlando Octive, Super Star ray (Synergy) Code 202 Production, Patrice
Roberts, Dkrewe mas band, Sekon Sta (Soca Artiste) and SYO, just to name
a few.
Deisha Dare Designs style continues to evolve and her ultimate goal
is to continue to build and establish her brand while tapping into the
international market.
