Bikini Under the Bridge model

The folks at JRG did it again.  On August 15, the Bikini Under the Bridge fashion show was held in Brooklyn at the Tobacco Warehouse. The two show extravaganza featured returning swimwear lines as well as new ones:  Ashakai, Trefle Designs, Yard Rock, Chila for Fun, Shar Styles, Brazilian Bezel, TBA Clothing, Royal Flush, Sammy B, Steven Daniels, Bernard Moore and Derek Moore.

Returning TBA (To Be Afrikan) Clothing swimwear designs known for being more edgy, were a tad bit toned down this year.    William Fleet, the designer, tried to take into account some of the feedback he had received and trends on the horizon. On the rookie side, Bikini Under Bridge designer Shar of Shar Style is actually fresh to the designing game.  Shar from Guyana, living in Florida, has worked as a model for some time, so the designing bug has been in her for a while.  However, it was only a short six months ago when Shar threw her cards on the table and delved into world of fashion design.  She wanted Shar Styles to exude the sexiness of South Beach Miami.

JRG who in the past had models from America’s Next Top Model, switched gears this time around with male model Sandhurst from the reality show Make Me A Super Model.

In between shows we caught up with WBLS Caribbean Fever’s radio show host Daved Levy, who was backstage conversing with one of the Bikini Under the Bridge models.
