Fashionably roaring twenties

In the midst of her 20s, a young woman's style begins to bloom. At 25, she is picking up on the finer points of her mother's and grandmother's style without fore-going the innovativeness of modern fashion. There was no better way to show off this fusion than by selecting the perfect outfits and location. Flair chose pieces from Kerry-Kay's and did the shoot in Jamaica's trendiest business district, New Kingston. The location of choice was the contemporary Spanish Court Hotel with its juxtaposition of bold and clean-lined decor.

Take a walk with Flair to experience the evolution of the modern woman.
