Chanel Takes Dubai

Karl Lagerfeld will host his next  Chanel pre-spring / summer 2015 show in Dubai. The event will take place on May 13, when temperatures average around 100 degrees.

The brand is known for staging its pre shows in distant locations and extravagant settings, from Miami and Singapore to Los Angeles and, most recently, Dallas. Details of the venue have not yet been released, WWD reports.

Chanel Hits Dubai

Chanel has five ready-to-wear stores in Dubai. In October 2010, Lagerfeld announced plans to create his own fashion island, 20 miles off the coast of Dubai, named the Isla Moda. It is hoped that the project will be completed this year.
