Project Runway has a history of featuring talented designers with roots in the West Indies, with Trini winner Anya De Rogue, and last year’s talented tailor from Guyana, Ven Budhu. The current season is proving to be no different. Bronx native and Brooklyn-based designer, Samantha Black, is killing the contest with her innovative designs and impeccable taste. Success is nothing new for Black, who’s parents are both from Jamaica, as she’s already made a name for herself with her sick bad collections for her own line, Sammy B Designs. In addition, Ms. B has worked with some amazing designers like Michael Kors and Alexander McQueen and dressed some serious divas like Keri Hilson and Ashanti.

Last year, our friend, the fabulous Anya Ayoung-Chee, repped hard for her country, Trinidad and Tobago, on Project Runway, even naming her final collection, “Tobago Love.” Not only did she win the competition but she was voted the fan favorite.

It may be a product of the “Third World” but Mission Catwalk , the popular Jamaican television fashion reality series, cannot be classified as a third rate production. Each week viewers tune in to behold the creative designs, watch the entertaining personalities, and see who will inevitably get the axe. With season two in full gear we caught up with executive producer and host Keneea Linton-George, a well-regarded fashion designer in her own right, for a candid chat.
