Fashion stylist and designer Sashon Burton is eager to position Jamaican fashion at the forefront of the local and international space. With over ten years under her belt as a stylist, Sashon Burton began her career styling Danielle D.I. for her single “Brown Girl In A Ring.” Since then, Sashon has styled several artistes such as Tyrus Riley, Konshens, Shaggy, Miss Kitty, Ikaya, Shane-O and I-Octane. She is also a part of the group Scorpio 21.

After building an impressive repertoire in Jamaica, Sashon decided to expand her reach and has spent the last four years in New York working alongside top stylists Kyle Luu and styling artists such as Neyo, Solange, Tinashe, Travis Scott and Troye Sivan. As she continues to build her brand as a stylist, she has her eyes set on one day working with Lila Ike, Koffee and Beyoncé.

With the growth, she has amassed and a wealth of knowledge and experience and experience at her disposal, Sashon is ready to return to Jamaica to begin the work necessary to elevate Jamaica as a global fashion muse. For her, clothes share a narrative about the individual wearing them; and as her style depicts, she is a colourful, bold character that likes to think and dress fun and out of the box.

Her favourite era of Jamaican fashion was the period of 90’s dancehall, where every look would be a unique, daring and wholesome representation of Jamaica and Jamaican culture. It is her love for this era and her own extravagant and outlandish style that makes working with artsy people who are open to taking risks with fashion.
