Blue Mango Chevelin Illistration Digicel Business FastForward Friends with Design GraphCity HPS Jerry Boursicot Karibe Convention Center Kreata Loko designs TwixCism

During the weekend Karibe Convention Center was home to Kreata Salon Creatif. The brainchild of Beatrice Celestine of TwixCism, along with some other Friends with Design, Kreata was an expo to showcase digital art and what it means in Haiti today.

More than 20 exhibitors in the domain of graphic design, illustration, audio/visual arts, photography, digital printing, and 3D art, participated. The event attracted students in the domain as well as those with advertising and production companies, or those simply interested in the latest technology.

There were some fascinating displays, with amazing light installations and special effects. One such exhibition was from FastForward, displaying their production and lighting works via a screen high above the venue. Graphcity, one of the event innovators, had an artist sketching as onlookers watched his work on a screen being converted into digital art. There were some known names in the industry such as marketing and advertising company; Blue Mango, illustrator Jerry Boursicot, and the event’s main sponsor; Tecktra Graphics & Innovative Display Solutions. There were also some new faces in the domain, like Chevelin Illustrations; a group of young artist who create comic books in French and Kreyol complete with superheroes.

Visitors had lots to see, but they also had a lot to learn. Kreata offered a choice of at least 10 workshops on different topics such as Studio Lighting, Effective Photoshop Retouching, and even Business Intelligence.

The first, of what is to become an annual event, was a success in bringing the best in technology that Haiti has to offer to the forefront and allowing people to see the possibilities.

Congratulation to the innovators as well as all who participated and attended. I believe this was a great example of what we can do when we put our minds together and also a window into the future of the way we work in Haiti.

Le Grenier de Rapadou Les Jardins de Gerard Loko designs Marie Therese Fouchard Marjorie Alexis Martine Cantave Michel Chataigne SANDILOU Simi

From the

moment I met Marie Therese Fouchard or 'Tete', as she is most affectionately called, I fell in love with her spirit. She is a woman with lots of charm, character, class and of course undeniable style.

Tete is one who has paid her dues in the fashion world. She started designing in 1987. A party girl, Tete, designed clothes for her and friends to go out and look good in. She was making pieces she believed people wanted to wear.

Haiti soon became confronted with the US embargo, civil and political unrest, and things began to change. Tete too was affected, and began looking further. She fondly recalls advise someone very close to her gave, “Just make what you would wear.” Those words changed the course of things, and soon embodied with a strong sense of self and a determination to promote Haiti, Rapadou was born.

After many years in the business, Tete says she has found her "place in the sky", and has opened a new boutique.

Located in Les Jardins de Gerard up a cute stairwell, as if perched in a tree house, lies Le Grenier de Rapadou " Rapadou's attic". Overlooking Petion-Ville, Tete has created a little oasis filled with pretty little things. Bright colored dresses, hand woven bags, beautiful pieces of jewelry accentuate the modish decor.

Being a true Libra, Tete, did not want to just showcase herself. Le Grenier also carries pieces by other local designers. Tete says she surrounds herself with things she likes, of good quality, and that compliment her own line's aesthetic. She wanted to create a place of fashion while promoting local products and Haitian designers.
