From Salzburg to Seoul and Dallas to Dubai, Chanel has spanned the globe with shows for its twice-yearly pre-collections. The next city to play host to Karl Lagerfeld and co. (after December 1’s Métiers d’Art show in Rome, that is) will be Havana, Cuba, where the house’s Resort 2017 collection will be shown on May 3, 2016.
Since relations were restored between Cuba and the United States earlier this year, the country has provided inspiration for a host of designers, though Lagerfeld will be the first to actually take a show on the road to the island nation. The event will also be the first time Chanel has staged a show in Latin America.
At Chanel’s Spring 2016 show earlier this month, Lagerfeld was already talking about the destination, telling Vogue.com in an exclusive video, “I would love to do a show in Cuba.” While more details of the event have yet to be released, one thing we know for sure is that Chanel’s guests will be well equipped for the journey to Havana—the house’s Spring 2016 suitcases and airplane knits will have recently hit stores.
