COOPA-ROCA took part in its first fashion show in 1994. During that same year they were also invited to present their work at Hause Der Kulturen Der Welt in Berlin. Fashion has played an important role in COOPA-ROCA´s development, through the voluntary participation of professionals who contribute to the strengthening of the cooperative and through its commercial partnerships that enable the cooperative to grow.
