The Fashion In Mas, The Mas In Fashion

We step on to the runways of New York Fashion Week on the heels of New York’s annual celebration of Caribbean culture and a parade that showed off the Fashion in Mas as well the Mas in Fashion.

For your viewing pleasure, here are some of the looks seen during three highlight events of the West Indian American Day Carnival Association’s 57th Labor Day offering – Junior Carnival, NY Panorama, and the New York Carnival Parade down Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway. Both masqueraders and spectators displayed their personal style in accessorizing their looks, both costumes and streetwear, in the colorful flavors of Carnival. Photos by Janice Lawrence-Clarke
