He was born in Panama but he seems to be doing a lot in Jamaica and I can swear I hear a Caribbean touch in his accent. Bailey is a common Jamaican name and I could see Jamaican parents giving their kid a name like Preston.

Bailey, whose grandparents hailed from Jamaica and Trinidad, grew up in Panama in typical Caribbean circumstances. He was just an average kid with no artistic pretensions whatsoever; he claims he “barely graduated” from high school. At 19, his parents sent him to join his sisters in New York. Handsome and svelte, he soon became a fashion model, a career he pursued for ten years.

Thanks. I looked everywhere and couldn't find this. This is interesting.
Perhaps because of his Caribbean background, the starting-point in any of Bailey’s extravaganzas is colour: deep, rich, fully saturated. It is the unifying point around which everything revolves. Colour can be used to create mood – lighter for a daytime event, darker and sultry for the evening.“I remember the bright, vibrant colours of the Caribbean,” he says. “I think that has affected my sensibilities.”Last edited by Tropicana; 03-22-2013, 01:05 AM.Comment
