Successful Launch of Havana Urban Design

Walking along 23rd Street and G in Havana, crowds of cool young people wear funky clothes that they hand-crafted from second-hand clothing. Stepping back, we realize that the need for new threads in Cuba has charged the creative spirit of the youth to create original urban wear out of salvaged materials. Copperbridge Foundation has launched the Havana Urban Design program to encourage these happenstance designers to recognize their talents and to use fashion to express their individuality as well as preserve their financial future.

CBF Founder Geo Darder and Advisory Board Member, actress Julia Stiles, were thrilled to be a part of this first annual program and we are looking forward to the next one!
