Looks 17 & 18 On December 26, 2001 Carlota visited Cuba for the first time. Since then, following several trips over the years, she has established an emotional connection with the country. Her perception, changing and evolving over time, is the starting point for a collection inspired by personal experiences, travel diaries, conversations with strangers and coffees with family friends. Buena Vista Social Club, Olga Guillot or Bola de Nieve are some of the soundtracks to these memories, which alongside the photography of Alex Webb or René Burri are some of the pillars of the collection. The life of downtown Havana, the rawness of the Malecón, the street music, the sound of domino tiles in Plaza Vieja, El Vedado, the markets, the open doors, the ‘colectivo’, the chats between balconies, Carmita, Bárbara, Giordano are some of the fragments from this collection. #CarlotaBarrera #SS23 #FashionWeek
