Berkley and Wallace get ‘On the Catwalk’ for 2007
Bandleaders herald legendary fashion designer Bob Mackie

ON the Catwalk is a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can result from allowing pageantry and costume to find a home in Carnival. More specifically, On the Catwalk is a tribute to the legendary fashion designer Bob Mackie.

Come Monday, September 25 in Cascade, band leader Trevor Wallace and his Committee will offer a glimpse of On the Catwalk for Carnival 2007 at a special viewing.

Robert Gordon Mackie is a world renowned fashion designer best known for his costumes for Cher and Carol Burnett.

He has outfitted celebrities such as Diana Ross, Elton John, Raquel Welch, Tina Turner, Oprah Winfrey, Bette Milder, Sharon Stone and Judy Garland to name a few.

Mackie is often called the sultan of sequins, the rajah of rhinestones and known for his sparkling and imaginative costume designs.

He has won seven (7) Emmy Awards for his designs and was thrice nominated for an Academy Award.

Mackie has said: “A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed.” And as such, that’s what the band offers -- a chance to be noticed and admired.

Having designed for television, film, dance, opera, Broadway and Las Vegas, Mackie’s creations are ideally suited for a Trinidad & Tobago Carnival interpretation.

The band will feature 10 sections, each an interpretation of the style and flair that is Mackie mixed with the creativity and passion synonymous with the team of Wayne Berkley and Trevor Wallace. Sections carry names like “Lemon Lime/Sorbet”, “Ca C’est Bon”; “Purple Passion”, “Magnifique” and “Serpent’s Sting”.

Trevor Wallace will once again be offering masqueraders an all- inclusive opportunity to be … on stage, to model, to display, to have fun, to experience the essence of Carnival … See you On the Catwalk!
