50s Havana - Printemps/Été 2009 (Mudpie)

50s Havana

Key Points

· retro iconography of Old Havana
· relaxed surf style
· sandy denim surfaces
· sounds of Blues and New Orleans

A surf style influenced by the retro iconography of Old Havana from the iconic Che Guevara to the Spanish influenced Cuban rhythms and the sounds of blues and New Orleans. This is a trend inspired by revolutionaries of Cuba whilst meeting with the beaches of Miami and southern California. This counterculture spirit can be seen at its origins in jazz from the ‘Big Easy’ to defiant pulsating beat of hip hop and modern day Cuban taut and loose. Relaxed styling featuring ombre knits and sandy denim surfaces are key.
