Weaving Dreams: Myrkida Harris's Unstoppable Moves in the Fashion World

To those who witnessed Myrkida Harris's journey, her ascent into fashion appears destined. Her early escapades, rummaging through her mother's closet and dissecting fashion magazines, hinted at her innate passion. However, upon joining Vieux Fort Comprehensive Secondary School, her aspirations lay dormant. In a nation where the fashion sector was nascent, the prospect of a career in design felt elusive. Encouraged to take the conventional route of business like her father, Harris felt the pangs of unfulfilled potential grow intense. Supported by her parents, she made the brave choice to relocate to London to study at Middlesex University. Her nearly four-and-a-half-year education was transformative yet challenging, especially in mastering technical skills. Inspired by a diverse peer group, she made strides, launching her label, Ventura, characterized by structured yet versatile designs. Her work embodies a timeless elegance reminiscent of her favorite designer, Tom Browne. Harris is determined to nurture Saint Lucia's fashion landscape and dreams of a future runway show, envisioning her pieces on stars like Keke Palmer and Rihanna.
