Yolander E. James was born on the beautiful island of Dominica and originates from the village of Marigot. There she discovered her passion for creativity at the early age of 14. At the age of 24, Yolander departed for Europe to realise her burning desire to become an International Fashion Designer and with the intention of one day returning to share her knowledge and experience with fellow Dominicans.
Through years of intensive work and further study in various fields of the Fashion Industry, Yolander gained the professional training necessary to open the doors of the European fashion world. Based upon her many years of experience, in 2002 she successfully launched the "YolanderJ." Fashion Line, which offers a unique and exquisite line of clothing for women in Germany and throughout Europe. Yolander James is Manager of her own boutique in Hamburg, Germany where she resides with her family.
Very soon the YolanderJ. collection will be available throughout the Caribbean and can be bought also online at:

To celebrate the Launch of the YolanderJ. Fashion Line in the Caribbean, Yolander James will showcase her Collection in an extravagant fashion show in Dominica. The date for the fashion show is set for October 19th 2008.
As to her future plans; Ms. James, will establish the Fashion & Apparel Institute of Dominica. The Institute will open its doors to student in 2009 and will be Dominica's first fashion design academy.
