9. This sheer confection (by Meiling) is definitely not your mother’s house dress. - 10 Moments We Love from Tanya-Marie Rhule’s Jamaican Getaway (Caribbean Lookbook, 2016.)
“We love the structured yet easy dressing of Meiling’s Kite dress... It’s a shape most anyone can pull off and was yet another Caribbean designer item worn by fashion icon Shala Monroque. Mentioned by American fashion stylist and editor Rachel Zoe as one of the 10 best summer looks of 2015, we think the Kite Dress is trend-defying, quality design - a fashion statement we can make about many Meiling items.”

“The mark of a good designer is to be able to create something of beauty that functions on many levels: the visual, the tactile, its form and function, its longevity. To do that you have to be a skilled craftsman and you have to be aesthetically attuned to your time and place, and that’s what I think she combines.”
“People think, because I’m a Caribbean designer, everything that comes out of me must be bright and tie-dyed. I say, no, I’m just a designer who happens to be in the Caribbean.”
