Designer Marrisa Wilson showcased her Spring/Summer 2024 collection, titled “Wild Coast,” as part of New York Fashion Week. The collection is a homage to Wilson’s Guyanese heritage and combines elements of Guyanese and Americana aesthetics. Wilson aims to present Caribbean culture in a nuanced light and challenge the idea of a monolithic Caribbean identity. The collection features hand-painted prints, bold colorways, and expertly crafted textiles, including a garment-dyed cotton netting inspired by Guyana’s fishing trade. Wilson’s designs aim to merge the distinct cultures and aesthetics of Guyana and America, creating a soulful and harmonious collection.
