This Trinidadian couturiere has ventured to, held her own and built a strong and reputable name in the highly competitive global fashion industry. With a design company which bears her name and focuses on an exclusive niche market, she caters to a cosmopolitan of local, regional and international dignitaries, public figures, models and celebrities.

It was the late 1970’s and Claudia began importing clothing from London for retail sale in Trinidad. The realisation that the European cut was no fit for the Caribbean body awakened the entrepreneurial skills within her and she began stripping and recreating garments. This was by no means a simple task, but earned her the skill of an ‘A’ class cutter. At this point, Claudia’s company went from selling imported clothing to creating its own designs. Business grew and expansion brought its own share of successes and challenges. This fuelled Claudia’s learning and growth as she used all her experiences as tools of learning and reinvention. By 1983 the economy’s downturn and Claudia’s need to pursue international opportunities and schooling triggered her move to Spain, where she embraced the opportunity to add to her skill set by working with tailors in Barcelona.

So enamoured by her time in Spain, Claudia decided to relocate, but fate had other plans for the budding entrepreneur. Her return to Trinidad was immediately embraced by high-end clientele, so she decided upon a closed-door location in order to facilitate customer privacy. And so began the evolution of the Claudia Pegus brand!
