Each step onto the modelling stage carries a quiet anticipation as each footfall draws closer to an expectant audience whose eyes are fixed on the runway, waiting to witness fashion brought to life in its highest form.

This year, 20-year-old Denesea Freeman had the opportunity to experience this for the first time at the ORIGINS fashion show in Guyana on Friday night over the weekend.

This year’s ORIGINS show opened on Friday at the Railway Courtyard, ushering in three nights of fashion, creativity, culture and culinary experiences, as some of the country’s leading designers showcased their latest collections.
