Carnival
Catwalk

Description

Carnival Catwalk is the Caribbean’s first reality fashion design competition series dedicated to the dazzling world of Carnival couture. Launched in 2023, the show combines the high-stakes drama of fashion competition with the vibrant energy and cultural richness of Carnival, providing a unique platform for emerging designers to transform their creativity into a spectacle. Across two groundbreaking seasons, designers from across the region—and beyond—have battled it out through a series of high-pressure challenges, each inspired by elements of Carnival, including featherwork, wire-bending, and storytelling through mas. Contestants are mentored and judged by industry experts, including Carnival legends, fashion insiders, and celebrity guests, with one standout designer crowned the winner each season. The grand prize? A TT$100,000 cash reward and an opportunity to showcase their collection at a major international fashion week, offering not just recognition, but a real pathway to global exposure. Shot in Trinidad and Tobago, Carnival Catwalk isn’t just a design competition—it’s a love letter to Caribbean creativity, resilience, and style. It’s where tradition meets innovation, and where Carnival’s next generation of fashion leaders are born. Perfect for fashion lovers, creatives, and Carnival fans alike—this is more than a show. It’s a movement.
