As more African Americans pre
pare to take cruises this summer,
local merchants say these vacation
ers are looking for versatile, colorful
clothing for the occasion.

a variety o f ethnic styles, decided
to host a Caribbean cruise fashion
show because an increasing num
ber o f her custom ers are shopping

Janet Hames, ownerofStatements
Cruise and Travel, said McKnight’s
instincts are on target. Hames, who
has been involved with the travel
industry for 10 years, said more Af
rican Americans are taking cruises
than in previous years. “Cruising was
once only for the elite,” said Hames,
“but now, some cruise lines have
made it affordable.”
M cK night’s show will feature
the work o f New York designers
who have created bold, colorful
ethnic clothing that is made with
hand-painted fabrics. “ W ith the
influx o f people from other coun
tries, designers have influenced new
concepts, new cuts and new styles,”
M cK night said.
For exam ple, the fashion show
w ill feature dresses that can be
w orn four different w ays and con
verted from daytim e to m ghtim e
w ith the adjustm ent o f a button,
M cK night said. The show also will
feature scarves that make great
accessories because they can be
w o rn d if f e r e n t w a y s su c h as

McKnight said the fashion show
will be a great event to attend before
residents leave for their summer geta
ways. “W ith the increase in travel
today, the avid traveler would love
clothing from World Village."
