Mod Ayiti: Haiti Fashion week 2012!

I've been missing a lot of good things happening in the Haitian community lately but I couldn't stay away after I saw some awesome pictures from Haiti's first fashion week that ended on Sunday. Designers from all over the world participated in the show amisdst some really great Haitian designers. Pictures from my friends on facebook had me jealous that I wasn't there because that's the kind of stuff I love to see in Haiti.
Well here are some pictures for you too. I'll be adding more pictures later but here are some of the Haitian designers presentations

Featured: Marvin Bien Aime

So far, I've only featured female Haitian models on here but I recently looked up some nice male models and I thought I would share...

Well then, here is Marvin
