Republica Dominicana Fashion Week 2009

This past Saturday night was the finale of the inaugural Republica Dominicana Fashion Week. Held at the beautiful Port of Sansouci, where 37 Dominican and 7 internatinal designers showed their wares. According to everything I have read and all I have talked to it was a monumental success. Closing night Custo Barcelona showed and there was a spectacular closing night party.

I have picked a few looks I liked below. You can see more photos here. All the presentations were top notch, but I really like Jorge David's beautifully made, wearable clothing.

Opening night saw the Dominican socialites out in force. To cater to this crowd there was fashion mall erected with tons of sponsors offering muchas cosas at deep discounts. They were even selling fur coats.

Congratulations on a job well done!

DR1 @ CHA

The website DR1 has a video channel on YouTube now. They will be steadily adding videos with an insight that you will see nowhere else. One such video is their behind the scenes look at Cha. On the DR1 forum there are comments about how it is the most happening dance club in Santo Domingo right now. And not just for gays. One point that is made that I believe to be the absolute truth is about the high-end/upscale clubs here. They are fucking BORING. And not places to go to have fun, but to contemplate your place in society, acting in a certain way, being seen with the right people, blah, blah, blah. BORING.

DR1 is going to be coming out with a comprehensive guide to EVERYTHING in Santo Domingo. Including "alternative" lifestyles. This city is huge and has so much to offer. It is about time that someone harnesses that potential. I have been interviewed about the gay scene here and can't wait for this guide to hit the streets. One thing DR1 recognizes, even if others don't, is that gay people have a lot more disposable income and don't mind spending it.

Another thing is certain, Chachita is giving her clientele what they want.
