Carlos MaxBrown chills at his party.

The MaxBrowns celebrated Saturday night with old and new friends along with Kingston's fashion crowd. All gathered to see Carlos' new edition on the property as the deputy mayor, Councillor Lee Clark, cut the ribbon of Sophia's new clothing store.

As he announced that you could shop, wine and dine, the large gathering applauded, clearly not having thought of these new possibilities! Seventeen years and still on the cutting edge.

The invite specified - dress in white - and the crowd dutifully obliged. (Except a few in prints - can we give the poor leopards a break, please)? But hot was the word for Sophia in shorts, yes, short shorts, and she has the gams to wear them, still flawless and every bit as beautiful as when she opened Caution all those years ago.

Well, with everyone clad in white, the décor matching and flowing, Carlos' Café felt like Collins Avenue, the Delano to be exact, minus the sea, of course - work with me here ... young and not so young paid their respects to one of their favourite stamping grounds over these many years.

And, of course, the MaxBrowns did it with a bang, spoiling us with loads of food from fritters to escovitch to festival to jerked pork - yum, with a fashion show featuring the gorgeous Danielle Ohayan to boot!

Enjoying the night were Brent Curlino and Kim Brown, Janet Farrow and Bill Edwards, Jamaica's best hairstylists Tracy Stewart and Candy Crichton, Stephanie Ammar, Julia Lowe, Angie Harris with daughter Christelle Harris and husband Anthony Harris, Raoul in from St. Martin to party with his mom and siblings, Storm Saulter along with his gorgeous Sarah Silvera, Digicel's Angela Whilyman, the zoot suit master Danny Champagnie, Jenny Berry, Percy Hussey, Charles Hussey, Ryan Russell, Tiffany Rosheuvel, Luke Williams, David Foster, Mirah Lim and the Zumba queen Nina Miskovsky.
