Karl Takes Cruise To Cuba

Chanel looks set to continue the trend for making the pre shows bigger and better than ever in 2016 with plans to take its pre-spring/summer 2017 show to Cuba, a spokesperson for the French fashion house confirmed to us this morning.


Following on from last year's extravaganza, which was hosted in Seoul, the show will once again take place in early May (the exact date is yet to be officially confirmed) and will be every inch the spectacle that we are used to seeing from the mind of creative director Karl Lagerfeld.

The news comes after a year that saw Louis Vuitton stage a pre collection in the Bob Hope estate in Palm Springs, Dior in the South of France, and Gucci in New York, setting the bar high for seasons to come. Chanel, of course, is no stranger to taking the fashion industry to inventive new corners of the globe, with its cruise and Metiers D'Art shows taking place in Dallas, Salzburg, Dubai, Edinburgh and Shanghai in recent years.


The new venue of Cuba will keep the international spotlight on the country, which has seldom been out of the headlines this year following the renewed ties between the country and the US that saw the American embassy reopen in Havana.
