Description

When it comes to fashion, few metropolitan areas are more synonymous with style than New York, London, Paris and Milan. But the couture capitals of tomorrow may be located in less likely locales. Addressing the interplay between the development of fashion centres across the world and their relationship to consumption and street style in both local and global contexts, the books in the Street Style series aim to record emerging fashion capitals and their relationship to the physical landscapes of the street. By examining how particular ecologies of fashion are connected to the formation of gender, class and generational identities, this series establishes a new methodology for recording and understanding identity and its connection to style.

Havana Street Style is the first book that explores and reveals the relationship between culture, city and street fashion in Cuba’s capital. Matching visual ethnography with critical analysis, the book documents a unique street style few in the United States have yet experienced.

Acknowledgements

Conner Gorry wishes to thank Douglas Rudd Cairo, Amaya Isla and the entire Cuba Libro community; there is perhaps no better place in Havana to create and write than in the garden at the corner of Calles 24 and 19, Vedado. A heartfelt gracias also to Rodney Ramos, Sandra Herrera, Luis Enrique Carricaburu, Alejandro Jorge Ransoli and co-conspirators Gabriel Solomons and Martin Tompkins.

Gabriel and Martin would like to thank Rosa Maria and Vladimir Rovira for their wonderful hospitality, Ann Marie Stock and Henry Navarro for their invaluable help and advice on all things Cuban, Samuel Riera for his 'on the ground' support and Eduardo Digen for being the best possible 'man in Havana' we could have hoped for.

Our Collective thanks must go to all the fashionable models who agreed to be photographed for this book and to everyone at Intellect for the opportunity to produce a book such as this - which we hope will open people's eyes to the richness, beauty and variety of Havana's burgeoning street style.
