Jacqueline Fumero, good taste and excellence

Any reference to creative excellence and a socio-cultural impact on the world of fashion in Cuba brings up an essential name: Jacqueline Fumero. She is a designer whose talent, initiative and conceptual maturity are articulated in an expression of the art of fashion who stands out for her personal line.

Behind the line is Nicole Di Rocco, a California girl with two nostalgic Cuban parents. Her parent's sepiatoned photographs, memories and native language, inspired Di Rocco to start Nicolita, a swimwear line, in 2002, upon graduating from USC. Nicolita has been picking up steam ever since, projecting their memories and Di Rocco's interpretation of them. Now, after having recently launched its latest Spring/Summer catalogue on Cuban soil, the American-made bathing suit line is on top.

To think à la Mode in Cuba is to think of Jacqueline Fumero, who presented her “Youthful haute couture line” which combines materials such as silk and lace. Her traditional elegance, quality of finishes and refined lines are expressed in a wide range of colours, coupled with the design of accessories that complements the image.

The Man of La Casa Prado

By Inés María Martiatu

Cubans have long had the custom to gather together Sunday afternoons with children, grandmothers and parents and take advantage of the day off from work and studies. The assembled family usually savoured a special dish carefully prepared by the ladies of the house: rice with chicken or black beans, roast beef or pork fricassee, accompanied by fried plantains and salad.

What words or phrase can describe the work of designer Lourdes Trigo? Certainly patience, determination, and creativity come to mind; above all, an artistic view combining traditional handicrafts with the modern trends of international fashion.
