Michel Chataigne: A Visual Recap

A TRAVERS LE TEMPS

On April 11, 2025, Haitian Cultural Exchange hosted À Travers le Temps, a powerful retrospective fashion show honoring the legendary Haitian designer Michel Chataigne and his 40-year journey in fashion and cultural storytelling. The show beautifully highlighted Chataigne’s influence and deep love for Haitian heritage with the lead of Creative Director Mc Alexander Ciceron. It was a celebration of creativity, community, and the artistry that continues to inspire generations.

We’re excited to share a glimpse of the show through the lens of Photographer Zarita Zevallos, who captured the beauty and spirit of the event.

 

40 Years of Creativity

 

Celebrating Haitian Heritage

 
Attending the Michel Chataigne runway show marked my first experience photographing a fashion event, and I was honored to be one of just four photographers invited to capture the moment. Michel and his team were incredibly welcoming; Creative Director McAlexander Cicero transformed the space with precision and creativity to perfectly suit the show’s energy. His thoughtful use of the venue pushed the boundaries of what HCX can offer designers, setting a standard for future showcases.
