A fashion travel guide for the innovative Caribbean metropolis.

Recycling and upcycling have been familiar concepts in Havana, the vibrant capital of Cuba, for decades. Now, a young generation of designers has redeveloped the tradition born of necessity to produce artistic and affordable clothing and unique items. Given the increasing shortage of resources and the littering of our planet, the metropolis of Havana provides inspiring examples for a sustainable fashion movement as well as for a gentle refurbishment and conversion of historical buildings. Along with the city’s tourist hotspots, Upcycling Havana: Fashion, Art & Architecture leads you to the latest workshops of trendy fashion designers, as well as selected architectural highlights, bars, and shops, enabling you to experience Havana in a completely new way as it undergoes its current transformation into a modern city.
