Dive into the world of fashion with this beautiful gem, Chandra Maharaj

In this episode, Chandra and I go way back to when WE go way back as friends. How our stories and our beginnings intertwine and how she has since launched a very impressive business as a fashion designer of this lifestyle brand.

Chandra talks about how she likes to give back to where she's from by providing business opportunities for those in her homelands. We also touch on her transition into costume designing for the big band Bliss! Check out her latest section design Jasmine.

Be on the lookout for her next POP-UP shop right here in my neck of the woods, Miami! And yes, you will see Carnival Kicks there as well!

Chandra has graciously extended 10% off your purchase when you shop at ChandraMaharajDesigns.com between now and August 31, 2019. Use the coupon code CKMix at checkout!

 


Farrah Chow-Quan hosts In The Mix With Carnival Kicks, a vibrant exploration of the powerful cultural and economic forces behind major celebrations. This podcast moves beyond the spectacle of sequins and sound systems to delve into the intricate worlds of Caribbean Carnivals and international music festivals. Each conversation is a deep dive into the real stories: the designers and artisans who build breathtaking costumes, the entrepreneurs who navigate the demanding logistics of event planning, and the chefs and vendors whose food becomes part of the experience. You’ll hear from creators and business minds who operate at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and commerce, discussing how these vibrant events are built from the ground up. It’s about the rhythm of business as much as the rhythm of the music, offering a genuine backstage pass to the passion and strategy that make these global gatherings possible. Tune in for a rich, multifaceted audio journey that captures the true spirit of celebration, from sketchbook to stage.
