Wasn't Oscar de la Renta born in Haiti? And then went to the DR and claimed to be from there? I could be wrong...

OSCAR DE LA RENTA WAS BORN IN DR. STOP MAKING STORIES...

He's father was a Puerto Rican migrant to DR and his mother a DR born Dominican...NO CONNECTION WITH HAITI, A BIG CONNECTION WITH PUERTO RICO...MANY PUERTO RICAN FAMILIES SETTLED IN THE EAST DURING THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY.

WHY DO HAITIANS TAKE CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING? NO NO. OSCAR DE LA RENTA HAS NEVER BEEN TO HAITI. BORN IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, HE'S MORE DOMINICAN THAN A PLATANO; HE WOULD TELL YOU THAT. LIVES PART OF THE TIME IN LA ROMANA, DR AND THE REST OF THE TIME IN PARIS AND NEW YORK.... SEE THE LINK FOR A SHORT BIOGRAPHY....[/size]

Lanmed, Bonahan. Is Mambo Racine Haitian? Aren't you getting familiar with Mambo Racine enough to know she's always making up stories? James Audubon? Cayenne pepper? Her pig that could talk? And numerous things concerning vodou? So, fuck off.BONAHAN! (my sentiments exactly!)

Had to bring this one back. I found a new one

Haitian Model/Designer Ralph Prophete
http://www.ralphleroy.com/

Designer Ralph Prophete has done it again with his Autumn/Winter line 2009-2010 boldly called, "Ralph Leroy."

Now with the technical collaboration of Internationally renowned designer, HELMER, the Ralph Leroy collection is a harmonious mixture of contemporary and urban style, accented with English inspiration as evident in the lines, cuts, and masculine look.

Mr. Prophete's diverse talents and expertise include his magnificent jewelry and accessory lines which have been showcased at various openings in New York and Miami, retail sales in Montreal, and award-winning accolades as an Art Director and stylist. His uncanny ability to sell and mesmerize audiences has been recognized by many photographers and casting agencies. Mr. Prophete has modeled for magazines and fashion shows in Montreal, New York, Miami, and Philadelphia.

Is it safe to deduce that Haitians are not into fashion? Growing up, we're told the careers to choose are those of doctor, lawyer, engineer...that is if we have the chance to go to school. Anything that has to do with arts or creativity is second tiers and bring no money.

Very unfortunate. Especially when neighbors like Dr, Jamaica, Trinidad & PR are heavily into it. As Haitians we are some of the most creative people in the caribbean. Not to mention our facial structure. Yup those high cheek bones perfect for modeling. Its never too late. They have already started. I have seen plenty of pics of fashion shows in Haiti. Lets hope with due time they get better.
