FASHION: Minna's 10 best looks
Keisha Shakespeare-Blackmore, Staff Reporter


Our favourite: Minna surely turned a few heads in this turquoise gown at the American foundation for the UWI 2008 Luminary Awards.

In February we began our fashion feature, 10 Best Looks, placing in the spotlight a well-known man or woman of style. We feature 10 outfits that we consider to be most flattering and take you down memory lane, highlighting when they were worn. So far we have featured Lisa Hanna, Empress, Asafa Powell and Sara Lawrence. This week we take a look at Minna Israel's best looks. Remember, you saw them here first!

Like the bold strides banker Minna Israel has made in the financial world, her approach to the world of fashion is no different.

Israel is the president and country manager of RBTT and when on the job she sports a tailored pants or skirt suit. But when she is out on the social scene, she likes to be a little more sophisticated in a classy dress or gown that flatters her figure. And when out to play, she shows off her flirty side in some fun tops with fitted pants.

The financial guru is very modest and usually camera shy, but over the years we have captured her looks a few times. She dresses age-appropriate but never dowdy and, like a true businesswoman, she represents her bank well on all occasions. Her ensemble always says "Look at me, I am fine!"
