During the Royal Visit this past weekend, all eyes were on the Duchess of Cambridge. Fashionistas around the world took note of what Kate was wearing when she came off the plane, danced the punta, or graced the official reception. But Belize’s own best-dressed men and women were also on display, some modeling uniquely Belizean creations. On this week’s Bright Side, I visited one fashion house out west that is working with Mayan embroidery artists to dress everyone from blushing brides to visiting Prime Ministers. As Ronelli Requena puts it, fusion fashion is a win for Belize.
