Meiling Esau is at the heart of everything we love at All the Pretty Birds. It all started in a garage without air conditioning as the designer started her career in the late ’60s. Today, Meiling employs more than 20 workers and owns the first fashion house in the Caribbean. Since then, she has been rewarded for her work and contributed to the visibility of Trinidad and Tobago, around the world. Her approach is revolutionary because, for more than three decades, the Trinidadian designer has been offering through her eponymous brand subtle, fresh, and simple references, and it’s often the most difficult when it comes to last. Free from trends, Meiling brings basics to another level. By creating clothes that will act as a second skin and age over time, It inscribes Trinidadian fashion in a global vision and not isolated and even less stereotyped.
