Description:	This chapter discusses the work of two Caribbean fashion designers and how they have sought to represent particular factors indicative to their islands in their designs. The effects of the 60+ year embargo on Cuba is looked at in the work of Celia Ledon and the use of carnival and the idea of Callaloo people (a Trinidadian terms referring to a mixture of different people) is analysed in the fashion of Robert Young from design house The Cloth.
