Windstar Cruises has announced a collaboration with Stitch Lab, a platform that champions Latin American fashion designers, to mark International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
“We are thrilled to work with Stitch Lab to highlight the immense talent and artistry of female designers as we celebrate them on International Women’s Day,” said Janet Bava, chief commercial officer at Windstar Cruises. “Stitch Lab aligns seamlessly with Windstar’s mission to support the arts across disciplines — from culinary excellence through our decade-long collaboration with the James Beard Foundation to visual arts with Fountainhead Arts, and now fashion with female-owned Stitch Lab. By integrating these creative expressions into our travel experiences, we offer guests more than a trip — we provide inspiration.”

As part of the partnership, Windstar will host an International Women’s Cruise aboard Wind Surf departing St. Maarten, March 1–8. The Caribbean sailing will showcase Karina Rosendo, producer and founder of Stitch Lab, alongside three Latin American fashion creators. Also participating are Alessandra Villegas of Esplendida TV, Janet Bava, and Patricia Gonzalez, vice president of marketing at Windstar Cruises.
In addition to the cruise, Windstar will participate in Stitch Lab’s Spring Pop-Up in Miami’s Design District, scheduled for April 3–6. The pop-up will extend the collaboration by highlighting Latin American designers and offering visitors an opportunity to engage with the designers and their work.
“Fashion is a powerful vessel for storytelling, and through this collaboration with Windstar Cruises, we’re weaving together the narratives of exceptional Latin American women who inspire across cultures,” said Karina Rosendo, founder of Stitch Lab. “This partnership is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the collective power of women coming together to create something extraordinary. I’m honored to bring the vibrant spirit of Stitch Lab to this unforgettable journey aboard Wind Surf.”
