With glitter and paint from the West Indian Day Parade celebrations still fresh on the streets in Brooklyn, Michelene Auguste, the Trinidadian model and owner of Dem Vintage, staged a sidewalk runway show Tuesday evening in Chinatown.
, staged a sidewalk runway show Tuesday evening just across the bridge in Chinatown. “A lot of my friends are Caribbean, so they were at all the parties,” said Auguste, who skipped the annual Labor Day festivities to focus on bringing Dem’s runway ambitions to life. “They were all asking me, ‘Are you coming out?’”
Expanding on the store’s premise of curated vintage, Auguste invited a crew of designers from her homeland for the show.
Beaming from the curbside front row was Gabrielle Elizabeth Roth, Auguste’s mother who flew up from Trinidad to support her daughter. “From a young child, she showed an interest in fashion,” Roth said. “She was always dressing in my clothes and walking in my shoes.” For the show’s soundtrack, Auguste turned to Kareem Thompson, the steelpan musician who frequently pops up at Dem for sidewalk sets. Vibes were strong even after the final bow, with models dancing along the impromptu runway. Friends and family were swaying to the beat, too, spilling out onto the streets as they sipped on delicious coconut rum cocktails.
