French fashion brand Pigalle Paris, led by designer St\u00e9phane Ashpool, and Cuban rum Havana Club are launching a limited edition capsule collection. It is a collaboration that celebrates music at its most joyful, the infinite dance and the ability they have together to inspire us and make us connect.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Havana<\/p>\n

Cuba’s rum, Havana Club<\/strong>, joins forces with French fashion brand Pigalle Paris<\/strong> to pay tribute to the days of its director, St\u00e9phane<\/strong>, in Cuba. In his own words, the experience “literally changed his life”<\/strong><\/em>. This collaboration celebrates the union while keeping in mind values such as commitment to local communities; the constant defense of diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

St\u00e9phane Ashpool<\/strong> has always been deeply inspired by the world of music and rhythm. From his early neighborhood parties and late night jam sessions held on the top floors of Paris hotels to his acclaimed runway shows in Pigalle<\/strong>; it is clear that music, colors and a powerful sense of community have always been the cultural pillars that have underpinned Ashpool<\/strong>‘s vibrant creative career.<\/p>\n

When he first visited Cuba, St\u00e9phane<\/strong> was simply captivated by Havana’s local music and dance scene. He also had to see the effervescent energy of its people. This vibrant world, fueled by the warm taste of Havana Club<\/strong> rum, was perfectly in tune with St\u00e9phane<\/strong>‘s own story. After all, his mother was a professional dancer, and the designer grew up in Paris surrounded, at all times, by many different cultures and rhythms. For him, Cuba was a celebration of his past and his present. That’s how he spent the next few days: meeting and interacting with the local communities, savoring their way of life.<\/p>\n
