Flo Dynasty Fashion Fusion Festival 2024 recap artwork with runway models and Flo.

The CaribbeanCutie Fashion Fusion Festival brought runway looks, local vendors and a community cause together in St. Thomas on January 21, 2024. I was there with my camera. Here are my videos, photographs and favorite moments from the event at Victor’s New Hideout, organized by Kim Blackett of CaribbeanCutie.

The Runway

The fashion show was the main event, and it earned it. Models came out serving looks that would hold their own on any runway anywhere. Vibrant Caribbean prints. Sleek urban silhouettes. Every walk said something.

I shot the show from the floor and from above, and I can tell you the energy in that room was real. You could hear it.

The Vendors

The boutique owners and vendors brought their best. Handcrafted jewelry, clothing and accessories filled the vendor tables. This is what shopping local looks like when the community shows up for it.

The Video Recap

I put together a full video recap so you can see it for yourself. The runway, the crowd, the atmosphere and the moments that made this one worth remembering.

The Woman Behind It

Special credit to Kim Blackett. The Fashion Fusion Festival is her vision, and she built it from the ground up. Events like this do not happen by accident. Somebody has to care enough to make them real.

The Cause

A portion of the proceeds supported the St. Thomas Stroke Support Group, Inc. Kim presented a $2,000 check. The donation video below documents the presentation on February 28, 2024, after the January fashion festival. Style with a purpose behind it.

The Gallery

Here are some of my favorite frames from the night.

Photo and Video Coverage by Flo Dynasty

My event coverage includes the fashion show, vendors, crowd and check presentation. The videos and galleries below bring those moments together.

Gear on the day: Sony A6700, DJI Pocket 2, DJI Mini 4 Pro for the aerials, and Premiere Pro for the edit.

If you are running an event in the Virgin Islands and you want it documented properly, that is what I do. Photo, video, and drone coverage that helps you preserve the experience and promote your next event.

And Yes, I Got My Own Photos Too

I am Latesha. Most people know me as Flo.

I spend most of these events behind the camera. I bring 20+ years in IT to a business built around media, websites and practical education. So when I am surrounded by that much style, sometimes I put the camera down and step in front of it.

Here is my night.
