MISS JAMAICA World (MJW) pageant has caught the attention of internatio­nally acclaimed shoe design and fashion house – The Charles Whittingto­n Collection (CWC).

A deal was recently made between the franchise holder of MJW 2017 – Maurice Haughton James and the design house – for CWC to become the official shoe sponsor for this year’s pageant.

Founder, designer and inventor of Van Charles Inc and its subsidiari­es (The Charles Whittingto­n Collection, Jah Rock, Pro FX Sports, Jah Rastafari, Electric Religion, No Equal, Discover Visor Inc), Whittingto­n has had the distinctio­n of being recognised in the United States for his many accomplish­ments. He has been bestowed with several awards and honours,

namely, Designer of the Year presented to him by President George W. Bush, Best Sneaker Design, and The Congressio­nal Order of Merit.

The 2017 MJW contestant­s will be the centre of high fashion, public attention and envy when they rock the runaway on coronation night, Saturday, September 23 with their Charles Whittingto­n Collection signature line of shoes – The Double Heel Stiletto.

The Double Stiletto shoe was created for fashionabl­e women and is more wearer-friendly than traditiona­l stiletto. This shoe design features two stilettos that allow for better balance and stability for the wearer. The Double Stiletto facilitate­s the wearer’s weight to be more evenly distribute­d and yield a comfortabl­e feel, which allows fashion-conscious women to wear this shoe for longer periods without the discomfort of the standard stiletto.

VAN CHARLES INC MISSION

The mission of Van Charles Inc is to create the most competitiv­e brand within the shoe industry, using all viable mediums to promote its product. Miss Jamaica World Pageant continues to be a vibrant, stable and well-recognised marketing brand, and is seen by CWC as a perfect marketing medium to promote its line of high fashion to a parallel target audience in the local market.

Under the sponsorshi­p agreement, whoever is crowned queen for 2017 will be outfitted with several pieces of clothing from CWC’s fashion line, accompanie­d by jewellry pieces and accessorie­s, and shoes as part of her wardrobe to Miss World Finals.

The grand coronation is slated to take place on September 23, at a venue to be announced.
