“Over the years we have developed a special bond with the retail stores in Bermuda and the Evolution retail show is one on the most anticipated shows of the week”, says Savvy COO Danilee Trott.

“When it comes to Bermuda designers, we have seen numerous phenomenal collections over the years. To actually see the designers, begin their journey and to witness their final runway presentation is truly something that we look forward to every year.
