THE TRI COLLECTION

The TRI COLLECTION is a clothing brand and the brain-child of Katrina Brathwaite a student of the London College of Fashion. The college's mission is, "fashion the future". and the 26 year old is certainly doing that.

The name "TRI" is three-fold in origin: 

1. (1) "TRI" is the shortened version of her name as first bestowed by her friend Damien Reveira at Harrison College- most people called her "Kat" for short and he wanted to stand-out from the rest of the pack so called her "Tri"; 
2. (2) "TRI" (pronounced "tree") is how the fashion designer sees herself; as a symbol of strength with roots that run deep- inspiring others while remaining grounded no matter what life throws her way. 
3. (3) "TRI" is how bajans (what Barbadians call themselves) pronounce the number three- three biblically is seen as the number of completion, perfection and balance.

Katrina describes herself as, "a proud bajan woman" and draws her inspiration from admiration of the female form; TRI COLLECTION is for confident women only and the designer wants every woman to celebrate her inner Goddess with every stride.

 

All images were shot on location in BARBADOS.

Erin in latest Threads of Scarlet Music Video: "Slow Down"

Here is Erin in the latest music video by Barbadian rock band: Threads Of Scarlet: Slow Down...all three seconds of her!


The band has a huge following and is yet another example of the 'music force' of talented Barbadians making major waves in the international music arena. Gadal Baby!

The single is available for download on the band's website www.threadsofscarlet.com

The GADAL Danish Connection...

GADAL Models+Danish Photographer+ Rubberduck (Danish Brand) =????

Tell me kids? What's the answer? Take a look and determine for yourself; whatever the answer is it sure looks like fun!

Whether it's 'rabbit ears' made of shoes or frolicking in euphoria there's nothing like a a great pair from Rubberduck to make life that much more fun!!!

Here Victoria turns from model into Sandal-wearing Kung-Fu Beach Godess (or whatever floats your boat!)

Our very own Erin and Victoria had a blast recently when Rubberduck sent Danish Photographer Oliver all the way to Barbados to shoot their stuff and have some fun in the sun.  Judging from the images they certainly had a blast!!!

Victoria in her element and wearing her signature beautiful smile.

Something tells us, Erin was behind these two shots...what do you think?

If it's fun you want Barbados is certainly the place...just ask Rihanna. Oliver said in his strong danish accent- "The shoot went beyond well! The girls were great!"

Erin Interviews with Easy Magazine

Gadal's Erin did an interview with EASY Magazine for the STYLE FILE section of the April 3rd  edition in the Sunday Sun published by the Nation Newspaper (story by Natanga Smith Hurdle).


If you missed your copy of the EASY MAGAZINE don't despair, here are some of the shots from that interview along with some additional shots to feast your eyes on.

Bubbly, Bright, Beautiful; all fitting descriptions for the lovely Erin Griffith, but don't be fooled, there is much more to this 5' 9" barbadian beauty than just another pretty face- with a strong head on her shoulders and a wisdom beyond her years the promising model is also a business-woman at heart trying her hand at everything under the sun including dancing; song-writing; writing movie-scripts, sitcoms, short-stories, books and commercial advertisements. 

Her strong sense of self was nurtured as a child when she; according to her, was more interested in playing with the boys, getting dirty and making mud-pies or being by herself. Certainly not the typical dolls and pretty-princess routine. 


She even tries to convince us that her daily wardrobe decisions revolve more around "if it's clean" and "it doesn't need to be ironed- great!" than what colours go with what or the latest 'must have brand'. Yet for all her self-confessed 'tom-boyishness' Erin can be the girl who knows how to change her own car tyres in one second and the sultry, seductive goddess in the very next breath!

Erin in fact is from a family of beauties; her mother Margaret Bovell being runner-up in Miss Barbados Beauty Pageant in 1985 and who could ever forget when her mom (who took the stage-name "Miss B" sang My Child the song that went all the way to the Pic-O-De-Crop Calypso Finals in 1989 where again, she was runner up and placed a strong second.


We see a future as bright as her smile for this Gadal Model. 


Brains, Beauty and Brawn is the 'Erin Story'...keep watching and stay tuned to this girl, her star has just begun to shine!

Erin and Ramon shoot for Pine Hill Dairy's Liquid Joy Campaign

There is nothing like a glass of cold juice on a typical bright, sunny, hot Caribbean day...ok so enough of the subtle "the weather is great in Barbados" plug, you get the idea. 

Juice is a great healthy drink and a great way to hydrate you body on a hot day.

Erin and Ramon (surrounded by other models) are the picture of health and vitality.

When it comes to "Juice" nobody does it better than Pine Hill Dairy; when it comes to Models no one does it like Gadal Model Management - go out and get your "Liquid Joy" today!

ERIN shoots for Cave Shepherd Christmas Catalogue 2010

Gadal's Erin earned herself the distinction of being one of only two Models selected to be shot for this year's Cave Shepherd Christmas Catalogue. Cave Shepherd is the largest department store in Barbados; founded in 1906 and established as Cave Shepherd & Co. Ltd. in 1943. 


It is considered to be the premier department store on the island so naturally the premier model management company on the island was selected to ring in the bells of Christmas.


Here is Erin...making magic. 


Cave Shepherd definitely has Christmas "wrapped up".

Introducing ERIN

Introducing the latest sizzling GADAL face...

Erin- a four lettered word for: golden warm skin, radiant eyes, effervescent  personality that all make for a model whose 5' 8" frame betrays her gigantic presence when she enters a room. 

When not gracing the pages of a magazine, or strutting down the catwalk, Erin is leaping across the dance floor; being a talented dancer as well.

For this golden beauty the sky is the limit!
