You know the saying stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready? Meeting an acquaintance randomly at Logan Airport Friday before the Haitian Compas Festival in Miami led to an opportunity to styling RAM HAITI lead singer, Lunise Morse.
This opportunity is a personal high. I was about 11 years old when dad took me to my first RAM concert at Hotel Ideal, Carrefour, Haiti. I have seen them performed for at least six times in my life so far. She is a powerhouse, a cultural phenomenon and an inspiration for us all.
Lunise is styled by Menalau Laurent in STARFISH EARRINGS for her performance.

We launched the limited-edition STARFISH EARRINGS in the Haitian flag colors: blue and red in honor of Haitian Heritage Month. Lunise is wearing the size large.
Each STARFISH EARRINGS is unique, the wire shape may vary without sacrificing its beauty. Mutiple colors and sizes are available. Custom orders are welcomed.
KADOKÉLÉ invites you to wear your roots, your voice, your power!
My love for brooches started as a child. My grandmother, Madame Louisa Charles Descadres had impeccable style. I am realizing how much she influenced my style the older I get.

A brooch is an understated accessory and yet powerful. Its versatility makes an easy piece to style. A brooch can enhance an outfit or be the star of the outfit. You can pin more than one brooch on your jacket to pump up the drama!
A brooch can be a symbolic accessory. It can express your many loves and passions in life. For me, nature is the gift that keeps on giving. My personal collection includes: a silver leaf, a brass gold bird nest and a dainty butterfly with pearl.
My most treasured one is a crystal white flower with rhinestones gifted to me by grandmother. It was my something old on my wedding day. I also wore it to her celebration of life.

I was invited to be a part of the Black Entrepreneurs Series to speak to high-school students at the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School in February. I designed the Starfish X Brooch and styled my outfit around it.
