Haiti Fashion Week in Port-au-Prince

Haiti Fashion Week held its first two editions in 2012 and 2013 at the Karibe Convention Center in Port-au-Prince, showcasing dozens of emerging Haitian designers to change international perceptions of the country through fashion, but continuous, clearly documented annual editions in more recent years were not confirmed.

The place changes

What made the original Haiti Fashion Week distinctive was its explicit framing as an image-correction project, using couture and eco-conscious design, including garments made from recycled textiles, to present an image of Haiti built on creativity rather than the disaster and poverty narratives that dominate much international coverage of the country, at a venue, the Karibe Convention Center, that has also hosted other major Haitian cultural events
