The names roll off the tongue like a trumpet’s lazy riff: Vedado. Miramar. Malecón. Three corners of Havana, three moods, three stages for Drôle de Monsieur’s Summer 2026 collection. This isn’t just a trip to Cuba but a plunge into the island’s most electric decades, the 1930s to 1950s, when colonial grandeur rubbed shoulders with cabaret spark, and every shadow held a story.

This is a collection that nods to legends: Compay Segundo’s raspy croon, Benny Moré’s swagger, Desi Arnaz’s charm, Kid Chocolate’s slick defiance. It winks at the outsiders who fell for Cuba’s spell, too: Hemingway nursing a daiquiri at El Floridita, Ava Gardner lounging at El Nacional, Sinatra and Luciano drawn like moths to the island’s flame.

The clothes mirror that clash of worlds. Sharp tailoring loosens into fluid silhouettes, opulent prints bloom like tropical flowers, and the palette hums with Havana red, cigar brown, flamingo green, and dark amber, colors that feel steeped in sun and rum. Every piece moves like a body in motion, whether it’s the Miami golden boy in linen, the street hustler in silk, or the Cuban woman with a flower tucked behind her ear.
