- What it really takes to launch a fashion brand in the Caribbean — and the first step that sets the tone.

And more....
LaToya’s journey is one of bold moves, global education, and creative evolution.
Her fashion journey began at the Style Institute in NYC, where she trained under celebrity stylist Anita Patrickson and later assisted her on major productions in LA. From there, her commitment to excellence took her across the globe, studying at top institutions including FIT in New York, Condé Nast College in London, the University of Madrid, and the School of Style where she was mentored by none other than image architect Law Roach. She has turned her passion for fashion and travel into a luxury eyewear brand, HauteLife World — featured in Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar and seen on international runways in Milan and Paris.
In this conversation, we explore her roots, her rise, and her vision to impact the fashion world. Latoya continues to evolve with purpose, using her platform to create impact through global partnerships—especially in her beloved Jamaica.
