"jus tried 2 post dis comment on youtube but i'm over the limit."
Really love this interview, its informative, interesting and funny (cepep) and more so, not much is known about her other than the head of Radical Design etc, well on my path anyway. I understand and like the path about "looking at her and saying Mrs/Ms. Hunt had an easy life etc" and just goes to show that one can't always judge the book by its cover and thus, i am inspired by her. Well...in general, i am inspired by strong women coming from my background but non the less, i don't really consider Radical Design a fashion label so to speak.
Maybe you'll can do interview about the cepep and import of labor to cover the shortage of Trinidad labor.
But one can't blame her for wanting to do that or considering importing/attaching foreign labor because clearly there is a problem and with fashion especially in the Caribben, the business side and design are like twins so to speak.
Twins in the sense that, Overall Cost is an issue and Overall Design is an issue so they must balance each other if one wants to be successful in both areas especially here in the Caribbean.
