A successful evening was had at the recently concluded Caribbean Film & Fashion (CARIFF) Festival in Delaware by Jenelle Alexia who showcased her A’Legends clothing line, presented and collected an award for her role in the film ‘Unbelievable‘. Held on Saturday, October 10, the festival featured a fashion show, where several designers plied their designs, and an award show for professionals in the film industry.
The fashion show started the evening off at the Downtown Wilmington Sheraton hotel, followed by the award ceremony at Theatre N located literary across the street. Jenelle Alexia was the first designer to dazzle the audience with the latest and classic fashionable creations from her A’Legends brand. She had also strut her wares on the catwalk as well as for the other designers who participated afterwards.
Then, it was on to the award show where Jenelle Alexia, who’s also an actress, was a presenter for two categories: Best Costume Design & Fashion in Film and Audience Choice Award. In attendance as well were popular actors Reuben Shaw, grandson to the legendary Reggae icon Denroy Morgan, and comedian Majah Hype, both of whom were winners of the night.
‘Unbelievable‘ was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack and Jenelle Alexia, who played a supporting role in the film alongside Dancehall legend Spragga Benz, received it on behalf of the cast. It’s the second year in a row that ‘Unbelievable‘ has been nominated for an award, having won last year in the festival’s first installment.
This accomplishment follows just one week after Jenelle Alexia received a proclamation from the county of Lehigh in the state of Pennsylvania at the 5th Annual Inna Starz Awards Show, recognizing the Philadelphia-based entrepreneur for her outstanding contributions to the arts and entertainment industries throughout her community and the Jamaican diaspora at large. Held in Allentown on October 3rd, Jenelle Alexia, in her first year attending, was a finalist in the Fashion Trailblazer Award category. Being nominated was the first occurrence for her as well.
