Cubavera - Summer/ Men’s Swim Collection

Men’s Swim Collection – Hybrid Shorts | Cubavera, Perry Ellis International
Associate Designer - Monica Richmond
Collaborated on the development of a versatile men’s swim collection for Cubavera, featuring hybrid shorts designed for quick-dry performance and all-day versatility. Managed color direction, fabric qualities, and vendor communication to ensure alignment across materials and production. This project provided an opportunity to refresh the brand for a younger demographic, drawing on inspiration and market research to modernize the assortment while maintaining Cubavera’s signature relaxed, tropical aesthetic

Tropical Modern: Color & Mood

A vibrant blend of ocean blues, sunset corals, and resort textures capturing Cubavera’s relaxed island heritage with a fresh, youthful edge.

Designed with quick-dry poly fabrics and breezy texture details, this hybrid short blends beach versatility with Cubavera’s effortless island style. My role included refining colors, sketching silhouettes, and collaborating with vendors to bring the relaxed, tropical aesthetic to life.
