"But K2K, it's about the fashion. I like the elegance...The custom designed dress, was flesh colored, with an intricate pattern of green sequins and a train of green feathers, and would have put everyone at the Oscars to shame.”

Out to make it work

​

K2K was honored to be speakers at the Caribbean Investment Forum, on the topic, our value to the supply chain

​

"The availability of human capital in Trinidad has diminished...I think we have potential, creative minds and talent, but we need human capital on the island to support that and help it grow," said Kathy Norman.

​

"A lot of the growth in the fashion industry is spurred by government and corporate spending." In Trinidad and Tobago, "energy generates the most money, so a lot of money isn't put towards fashion. It's up to government and corporations to put capital behind designers and invest..." added Karen Norman.
