A Diamond Legacy: Fashioning 60 Years
Origins Guyana is a visionary initiative supported by the Government of Guyana, and spearheaded by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce. Under the theme "A Diamond Legacy: Fashioning 60 Years," the 2026 edition of the festival positions itself as the creative centrepiece of Guyana's Diamond Jubilee, backed by cash grants, a $1M top prize, and a mandate to take local design global.
“Origins is more than a fashion show, it is about identity, storytelling, and opportunity. Through Origins, we are creating a platform where our designers can transform talent into enterprise, and creativity into global competitiveness.”
— Hon. Susan Rodrigues, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce
“The concept, Threads of ORIGINS, explores how individual perspectives, identities, and creative expressions are woven together to form something cohesive and meaningful… and that thinking will be reflected across the staging, the runway, the lighting, the sound, and the overall atmosphere of the festival.
— Andrea King, Creative Director
