Introduction and Ambitions:

 Ms. Charla Connor is a 20 year old Student pursuing a long term goal of becoming a fashion designer.  During the summer of 2005, she launched her own clothing line, 'Panache Couture,' allowing Anguillians the opportunity to be exposed to the realm of fashion in a way never presented to them. She hopes to help develop local appreciation for the field of design.   Charla has also traveled to and participated in various shows locally and regionally. In addition
she has assisted with many pageants and carnival events - including serving in the capacity of evening wear judge for the Miss Anguilla Talented Teen Show - 2005.

In her own words - Launching Panache Couture
"In preparing for this show about 20 models were recruited. From this venture the Panache Couture Model Team was formed. This group is not just a model team but a female organization geared towards the development of the young lady in her entirety. I decided to form this organization as an alternative means for young women to develop themselves. I also saw this as my opportunity to give back to the community seeing that many young women look up to me. I consider this to be one of my greatest and best achievements."
