The 50s parade in Cap-Haïtien for a historic anniversary
To mark the 345th anniversary of Cap-Haïtien, Okap Fashion Men is organizing an exceptional event: a fashion day dedicated to the 50s. This unique event immerses participants in the elegance of a bygone era, where sophistication and refinement were at the heart of fashion.
Founded in 1679, Cap-Haïtien is one of the most emblematic cities in Haiti, often nicknamed the "Christopher City" in homage to Henri Christophe, a key figure in Haitian history. Its colonial architecture and cobblestone streets bear witness to a rich historical heritage, making this city a true open-air museum. It is in this context that the city is preparing to relive the atmosphere of the 1950s, a period when each item of clothing bore a symbol of class and distinction.
The event offers a total immersion in the fashion of the 1950s, a decade marked by impeccably cut clothing and luxurious fabrics. Participants are invited to wear outfits inspired by this era: for men, elegant suits and fedora hats; for women, fitted dresses and retro hairstyles. Every detail, from accessories to shoes, is carefully chosen to recreate the timeless elegance of this period.
This fashion day is not limited to sartorial nostalgia; it is also a celebration of the history and cultural heritage of Cap-Haïtien. By revisiting the styles of the 50s, the event recalls the importance of preserving and promoting the traditions that make this city so rich. For residents and visitors, it is an opportunity to reconnect with Cap-Haïtien’s glorious past, while celebrating its 345th anniversary with elegance and style.
This event will mark a highlight in Cap-Haïtien’s celebrations, combining fashion, history, and culture in a memorable experience that will remain etched in memories.
