“It’s not that I didn’t know before, but their accomplishments really convinced me that the sky is the limit,” says the 28 year old Cross Roads native. “

I just want to go there and give it my all.  Jamaica need fi deya pon di fashion map.”

Part of $3m in prizes offered throughout the season, Gregory’s winnings also includes $200,000 worth of sewing equipment from Singer which he has already received.



He’s also opened a business account at NCB with a $500,000.00 cash contribution from the bank that will fund his HOD Designs fashion line. 

Come Fashion’s Night Out (Thursday September 6) fans will get a preview of his designs at SOHO Boutique. 

The items will be available for sale in December. Also in September, his Mission Catwalk model Sydia Valentine will shoot a fashion spread for OCEAN Style’s December issue. She will walk at Gregory’s London Fashion Week (LFW) presentation in February 2013. 

The winning prize previously included the chance to show at LFW September 2012.

The show’s host and executive producer Keneea Linton-George explains the change,

“When we thought about it, it just made sense. Gregory’s focus should be on school and mastering the skills necessary to become a top-class designer. 

At the end of our last season, he had to create a collection for Caribbean Fashion Week (CFW) and viewers saw upfront how challenging that was.

We want to spare him the pressure and have him focus on his studies which will also take him to Paris.”
