Althea Blackford is the founder of Boston Caribbean Fashion Week. She has worked with many designers over her two decade fashion career. She has a Caribbean background with her parents from Barbados and Jamaica. Althea wanted to create an event that celebrates her Caribbean heritage and culture while providing a platform for designers to showcase their collection and connect with other fashion professionals. She created this event in August 2013.
