CubaPLUS Magazine

Around the world, fashion has always attracted attention, as a trend or a topic for debate and, in many cases, it expresses the idiosyncrasy of an entire people.

And this is the case of Cuba, with designers who have reflected the characteristics of the island in their work: the omnipresent summer; different colors, from the blue of its Caribbean waters to the green of its nature; the colorful architecture of its cities, its rhythms...

In this issue, readers will be able to see a display of Cuban people’s work in this area, which has always had a prominent place in our publication.-- CubaPLUS Magazine’s 15th birthday was the occasion for the celebration of a grand gala “Fashioning Havana,” where Cuban culture, and fashion in particular, took center stage at Estudio 50, an art space in Havana.

Attendees were able to enjoy live performances, with makeup and hairdressing shows by Suchel and Lola Barcelona, and the well-known stylist Dorian Carbonell, respectively.

One of the most exciting moments was the tribute paid to the undisputed legacy of the late designer Jacqueline Fumero, which included a catwalk with her most attractive designs.

The evening was topped off by a fabulous fashion show, where the best work of Cuban creators could be appreciated, for which Christian Izquierdo, Color Café, José Luis González, Isis Flores and Ismael de la Caridad presented their collections.

 The occasion also served for the presentation of awards to 13 personalities of the sector who have collaborated uninterruptedly with the publication over the years, including Dorian Carbonell, José Luis González, Michel D’Zuarez, Ismael de la Caridad and Estudio 50.

Music was also part of the show, with attendees enjoying dance from model and dancer Daniela Cruz, and music by trumpeter Mayquel González and singer Isis Flores.

The renowned designer Ismael de la Caridad dedicated words of congratulations and kindness to the magazine’s management and team: “I feel that this is also my magazine.

I have been in many editions and over the years I have seen how it has grown and prospered. I am very happy for the invitation to participate in this activity that has been a success and I love CubaPLUS. Thank you for always having me in your catalog of artists.”
