ABOUT THE TIME/LESS™ COLLECTION

The INVITATION

• Denver, CO — USA — A WORLD TRADE CENTER DENVER FASHION GALA TO FEATURE GLOBAL DESIGNERS

• In the spring 2012, Seven Global Designers representing different nationalities were invited to show interpretations of their respective Nations fashion at World Trade Center Denver’s “A World of Fashion” Gala event.

• The Gala was part of World Trade Center Denver’s World Trade Week conference preceding World Trade day 2012 (May 17, 2012). 

• The conference theme, “A World Without Barriers: Leveraging Free Trade Agreements”, focused on America’s 21 markets with Free Trade Agreements and the opportunities they presented.

• Held at Infinity Park, the Gala included a Fashion Show, Dinner and a Silent Auction with the proceeds benefiting the Young Americans Center for Financial Education’s International Center in Denver, which teaches Middle School Students about International Trade, Foreign Exchange, and Cross-Cultural Success.

The DESIGNERS

• The Designers invited were Yumi Katsura (from Japan); Lois Samuels’, The Vessel (from Jamaica); both Pineda Covalin (from Mexico); Gabriella Martinez (also Mexico); Jacqueline Conoir, presented her eponymous label as well as her JAC Collections (represented Canada); Maggie Margot of Marie Margot Couture (from Colorado represented the USA); and Justice Kwesi Kwarteng (represented Ghana, West Africa).

Creating the TIME/LESS Collection in Response to the Invitation

• Justice responded to this special invitation by designing an exclusive mini-collection that defied stereotypes and showcased his native Ghana’s rich history of textiles and fabrics:

• “Ghana has an incredible relationship with fashion, textiles and style that transcend our iconic traditional Kente cloth. Every garment from the TIME/LESS™ Collection reflects the essence of Ghanaian Fashion and Style”— said Justice Kwesi Kwarteng on his creative vision and inspiration behind the development of The TIME/LESS™ Collection for World Trade Center Denver’s “A World of Fashion” gala.
