BARBADOS - An enterprising apparel
manufacturing company has big plans for Barbadian and Caribbean fashion
designers.

Declaring "you can't have fashion without fabric,"
Rozana Moseley, co-founder of LaRosa Couture, believes the local and
regional fashion industry has been hindered by the absence of quality
manufacturing facilities to support its creativity.

Moseley, who co-founded the company with her husband Ryan, said LaRosa Couture is positioning itself to mend the situation.
