Mother-Daughter Team To Launch Fashion Magazine

By MELISSA PIONZIO

Hartford Courant

MANCHESTER

Manchester residents Carolyn and Chanelle Adams have always been passionate about fashion.

A native of Trinidad-Tobago, Carolyn grew up in a household where designing and creating one’s own clothing was the norm. For Chanelle — a willowy 16-year-old whose own modeling career is just starting to take off — loving fashion just comes with the territory.

So when the mother/daughter team began to search for fresh, unique designs to be featured in the first issue of their “Kencar Fashion” magazine, they initially thought of New York City as the closest locale to find what they were looking for.

Until now.

In the spring, the Adamses invited local designers to participate in their venture without pay, in exchange for free exposure for their work. The result was dozens of responses from designers not only in Connecticut, but from across the country as well as India, Africa and the Fiji Islands. Similar online advertisements for model participation garnered more than 700 responses.

“We have a lot of fashion in New York and that’s where the excitement is,” said Chanelle, who attends Great Path Academy in Manchester. “But we’ve got a lot of talent right here, so we thought, ‘Instead of going all the way to New York, why not offer something here?’ ”

Over the summer, things really began to come together on the project. The Adamses held a competition for models who will be featured in the magazine, conducted two photo shoots and selected models to participate in the upcoming Kencar Fashion show and launch planned for Oct. 17 in East Hartford.

“People are still calling me, telling me their daughters are models. … I say, ‘Send me a picture.’ Imagine me, saying send me a picture!” said Carolyn, who works for The Hartford Insurance Co. in the billing department. “It’s a lot of networking with people. I’m working with a producer and a distribution company and I have been in contact with local retailers to take the magazine.”

Their producer, Dan Myrichs, is working equally as hard to assure Kencar gets a proper start. He has been busy filming video clips of the mother/daughter team, along with pre-taped monologues provided by some of the designers and models featured in the magazine and launch. The clips will be included in a live, streaming broadcast of the upcoming event. Myrichs, who lives and works in New York City, said he has a good feeling about the project.

“They have a niche already, just by having fashion in a location that is not prevalent, by having great looking and creative people available to them right here,” said Myrichs, who plans to offer the magazine on a quarterly basis. “In this economy, this type of project helps make people feel good about themselves and it will create jobs.”

During a recent Kencar photo shoot, held at a Hartford home owned by a friend of Carolyn’s, Chanelle and other models of varying shapes, sizes and ethnicities flitted from room to room dressed in eclectic fashions provided by the various designers. Excitement filled the air as designers fussed with their creations. Photographers set up equipment in sunlit hallways and curved staircases, and students from Brio Academy of Cosmetology in East Hartford applied makeup and styled the models’ hair.

“I love the idea of this magazine,” said designer Deepti Babani-Divatia of Wallingford, whose clothing line features beaded, embroidered and hand-stamped cotton, silk and woven fabrics influenced by her Indian heritage. “I just think there is a lack of fashion in Connecticut, so bringing that out is great. It is needed, and I’m so glad Carolyn is doing this.”

Hartford designer Carmen Veil said she is working on a women’s clothing line that will offer high fashion for every day of the year in bright colors that reflect her own personality.

“It’s unique, even with the models,” she said of the diverse feel of Kencar Fashion. “I love it, it is going to give excellent exposure, not only to the designers, but the models too.”

Tickets to the Kencar Fashion Show and Launch are $45. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Hartford Boys & Girls Clubs. For information, go to www.kencarfashionmagazine.com.
