Guess who rocked the international fashion stage? Norma Ebanks from the Cayman Islands! 🌎✨ She stormed the BRICS+Fashion Summit in Moscow with sheer brilliance, standing out amongst representatives from 60 countries. This fierce designer and CEO of Cayman InStyle Fashion Week took the spotlight as a panel speaker at this elite summit held at the iconic Zaryadye Moscow Concert Hall. The discussions? Oh, just about shaking up the global fashion industry with AI tech, sustainability, and the art of recycling fashion like never before. 🚀♻️

Norma was the star speaker at the aptly named panel session, 'A Star is Born. A designer’s challenging path.’ 🎤 She dished on her rise to glory on the tiny island and shared, “It wasn’t all glitz and glam. From no job prospects to opening one of the only fabric stores in Cayman, it’s been a wild ride!"

But that’s not all! Apart from leading the charge towards a more eco-friendly fashion world, the fearless entrepreneur wants to amplify young designers’ voices. As the Cayman Islands Fashion Week 2025 dreams brew, she’s envisioning a global fashion fest uniting creativity from every corner of the world. 🌺✨

The conversations at the summit transcended fashion rules! They delved into dynamic topics like cultural appropriation, the nitty-gritty of luxury markets, and bracing for the revolution in retail transformation. Even your shoes and bags got a special mention!

Norma didn’t just talk the talk; she walked the walk at the international exhibition 'Heritage,' showcasing the cultural influences on today’s masterpieces from fashion bigwigs across Brazil, China, South Africa, and beyond. 🌍
