“Progressively, the translation of beauty and style is becoming synonymous with the glamour and culture of the British Virgin Islands—which further invigorates our purpose to produce a famed international fashion destination event that rivals any other,” says Terry Donovan, Founder & Producer of Summer Sizzle BVI.  “The breathtaking, panoramic views of our islands are the ideal location and backdrop for a fashion celebration like Summer Sizzle BVI and our scenery are perfect for photo shoots and advertising campaigns”.

In addition to the exclusive parties, sailing adventure, and the world-class Global Glamour Runway Show, attendees of the 11^th Annual Summer Sizzle will have the opportunity to partake in the most fascinating travel experience—accentuated by incredible ocean view accommodations, distinctive culinary fare, and a vibrant culture that permeates elegance and nature.

In keeping with the event’s mission to promote the British Virgin Islands as a fashion tourism destination, Summer Sizzle BVI will continue its effort to rebuild, restore and revive the BVI through volunteer work and other initiatives. In 2018, Summer Sizzle BVI auctioned off art by artist Roma Osowo and funds were donated to Family Support Network. Models, designers and visitors also donated school supplies to schools throughout the BVI and a group of models, designers and other fashion professionals teamed up to assist in the cleanup efforts. This year, Summer Sizzle BVI will partner with local organizations to aid in the continued efforts to improve the BVI community through volunteerism and philanthropy.

Summer Sizzle BVI began in 2009 and has featured top designers, models and artists including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Marcelle, Nigel Barker to name a few.
