A sneak preview of the upcoming fashion trends for the next season is always to a woman’s advantage. And of course, designers cannot wait to share their new creations and imaginative designs with the public. To create an event that can assist new designers and showcase leading fashion masterminds, Puerto Rico is hosting the forth Puerto Rico High Fashion Week between the 13th and the 15th of March 2008. The PR High Fashion Week is set to be an event filled with glamour, style and surprises.

A men’s shirt that has gained popularity as a formal or party dress everywhere is the guayabera. Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the whole of Latin America claim that the guayabera originated from there. Suffice to say it is available in all these countries with their own little unique variations or touches. It is said that the name and style originated from a shirt with patch pockets in the front, made by a woman for her husband in order to enable him to carry guavas.

Puerto Rico’s intimate links with the mainland United States are both a plus and a drag at the same time! Those of us who love the islands and the Puerto Rican people long for artifacts to remind us of this place in the sun, and our bonds with the land. Trinkets and fakes abound, nowhere more than on the streets of Manhattan, and you may worry that your carefully assembled collection of Puerto Rican handicrafts could be dismissed as a madness of collecting junk! This is where the San Juan Puerto Rico International Fashion Center comes to our rescue!
