Fashion Art Havana is the latest event in the Fashion Art series, spearheaded by Manuel Fernandez, a Spanish designer who has traveled the world and worked with more artists than he can count. His goal is to create one-off garments that meet at the crossroads of art and fashion. In an interview, he said that “art doesn’t have to always be hung on walls, it could also be on floor tiles, earrings, tights or many other places.” Adding to that, a participating artist, Jorge Perugorria, also said that “fashion is also art, and this is a concept we need to start understanding here.”
All of the artists that participated had very positive hopes for the event, and for the objective behind it. They pray that this will help the rest of the world see Cuba as a fashion destination and an art haven, not just a mere communist territory where consumerists and capitalists can indulge as they please.
