Another month, another fine issue from the STYLEZINE team. With summer and its heat being ever-present, the team over at STYLEZINE have come up with The Bay. The Bay is another take on a swimsuit issue… We briefly attended the mixer (1, 2) this past Saturday where we saw a little of what the issue had to offer. Well now we all can view it in full HERE. Also, be sure to check out the soundtrack to the issue, presented by DJ Ampero HERE as well as some behind-the-scenes images HERE.

Forget the beach… check out Stylezine’s “The Bay.”

Think simple beach life and combine it with clean fun, fashion, culture and then you’ll have “The Bay.” It’s Stylezine’s editorial take on good vibes and the good life. Excited? So are we. From their teaser video it seems like it embodies exactly what one would want their island summers to be like.

The newest issue of the magazine is set to be released Tuesday July 4th but you can check it out 3 days earlier at their Social Mixer and viewing party held at The Marley Resort and Spa, Cable Beach.

And the blessings seem to be infinite for Theodore Elyett Sealy. The 26 year old Bahamian Fashion Designer has been chosen to represent our nation at the inaugural Caribbean International Fashion Week (CIFW) on June 8th, 2011 in New York City. Chosen from 365 applicants, the “Theodore Elyett” label will present its thirteen piece Spring/Summer 2011 collection titled Desert Sun. Read below, for Elyett’s appreciation:

” I feel truly blessed to have garnered the support from The Bahamian government to participate in the upcoming international Caribbean showcase,” said Theodore. He adds, “Having the opportunity to showcase in one of the fashion capitals of the world, New York City, is an awesome undertaking. But even more touching is the fact that I am being encouraged and financially supported on this venture by our very own government. When you couple that fact alongside the responsibility of being the sole representative for my country on the world’s stage, it just makes the experience and the thrill of participating even more enriching. I’m grateful to God for the favor I received in my bid to the Ministry for assistance, and I’m looking forward to putting my best foot forward.”

Elyett will be showcasing along with other Caribbean nations such as Curacao, St. Lucia, Barbados, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Turks and Caicos, amongst many more. Spending an intensive Summer course at Parsons, representing an entire country in CIFW and soaking whatever else NYC has to offer, yup, Elyett must be on cloud nine right now.

The team over at STYLEZINE is definitely keeping its finger on the pulse with coverguy, Branville McCartney. With political season warming up by the day, the leader of the newly found DNA (Democraticc National Alliance) and MP for Bamboo Town is about to win over a crowd of the younger voters, or at least the hip ones. This issue will be an interesting read.

It was last year that budding fashion designer and Bahamian native, Theodore Elyett, won the Harl Taylor Scholarship to attend an intensive summer program at Parsons (The New School of Design in New York.) Well Summer is here and the future taste maker is taking us with him via online Journal posts. It’s all an inside look into parts of NYC and into the earlier times of a fashion staple in-the-making.

Below are some are a few quotes from two of his journal entries:

Day 1… NY seems to be a pretty exciting place. A melting pot of nationalities and cultures…a city of burgeoning talent, and endless possibilities.

….Got the eye of the tiger, the lion of Judah, now it’s me in my time, it’s just me in my prime…

Parsons really is an awesome institution! …Where else would you find the offices of Forbes Magazine, an Art & Design School and a Presbyterian Church sitting neatly in a row?

…Neatly wrapped around her neck, in gold, was a lovely chain, with a charm that showcased the glistening words, “BAD ASS!” lol…clearly she means business!
