An avid supporter and advocate of Trinidad and Caribbean fashion coupled with her educational background in Tourism and Hospitality Management, Ain thrives on attaining quality service, awareness and acceptance of local talents and products. Because of this passion and being introduced to the local fashion scene some years ago she always thought that more could be done to raise awareness of and respect for the designers around her.
Hence she and two other colleagues started Racked – The Fashion Market, an inclusive shopping experience, exposing fashion and accessories designers and their unique, quality products, all 100% designed and made right here in Trinidad & Tobago, or by a Trinbagonian living abroad. This event has solidified her interest in assisting with producing new experiences for networking with clients and buyers and guaranteeing that there is continued brand profitability through her committed service, hence The Fashion Arch (FA) was born.
She has served on the board of the Fashion Association of Trinidad and Tobago as well as the Caribbean Fashion Arts Feature Festival and as the Artisan Market and Green Expo coordinator with New Fire Festival 2016-2020. Ain was also awarded the Female Entrepreneur of the Year, 2022 by the National Entrepreneurship Development Company Limited (NEDCO).
The Fashion Arch curates, creates and promotes a brand story for clients that produces a connection between each piece/product/service and its customer. Ain and The FA team prides themselves with bridging a gap for designers by enhancing their marketing and branding foothold while assisting with opportunities for new business and partnerships. Working with local and regional fashion brands as well as collaborating in events held in Barbados, Suriname, Jamaica, Washington, DC and most recently New York has solidified her career and ability to offer strategic consulting, brand development and liaison services for fashion, lifestyle and creative brands.
The Fashion Arch brand wants to create legacies in the fashion and creative industries by creating excellence and sustainable brands through quality production, business operations, increased exposure and media stay.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, The Fashion Arch had to develop new ways to not only serve its client but maintain relevance. A complimentary aspect of the brand’s mission was created through the integration and collaboration with local and regional designers and artisans. The Arch has strengthened not just in the form of development but also through collaboration further awareness and recognition via affiliation with the FA brand.
The Fashion Arch Lifestyle was created to provide chic yet comfortable lounge, office and resort wear to its clients through local manufacturing and due to the difficult times wellness items have been curated to create various packages and bundles to assist with alleviating stress, anxiety and tension.
