You + Havaianas 2013

The search for the next best design collaboration is on! 

Havaianas Philippines is looking for fitting talent from all over the country to collaborate with and will offer the winning design as part of the Havaianas 2014 Collection.  

In years past, Havaianas tied up with several fashion institutions including famed New York fashion designer Michael Bastian, Australian surf star and style master Luke Stedman, high fashion house Missoni, and timeless American multi-media company Disney. This year, for the first time in our history, Havaianas collaborated with Filipino graphic designer, Dan Matutina.

And now, Havaianas is on its feet as it gears toward the possibility of a bigger design collaboration – with YOU.

Yes, YOU.

Dig deep and dream big, tap your whim, wits and imagination to express the core essence of Havaianas: a sense of fun, excitement and adventure. 

Set to be launched at the same time as You+Havaianas gives everyone a chance to be in the design spotlight by letting soles come alive through flip-flop artwork that echoes the vibrancy of summer. 

VIPs open the You + Havaianas booth to the public. Visit the booth from May 1 to 5, 2013, at the Ground Floor of Gaisano Mall.
