Chanel’s Historic Presentation In Havana

Chanel2

May 4, 2016. 1 Comment

Chanel last night presented its resort 2017 collection in Havana, Cuba, last night, making history as the first luxury label to to present on the Caribbean island, a compelling location for the label in part because of how it connects with Chanel’s own past. The catwalk was staged along Havana’s Paseo del Prado, a tree-lined 550-foot long promenade originally designed in 1772 by French architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier.

Chanel invited 600 guests from outside of Cuba, but residents of Cuba were also welcome to watch. Guests including Gisele Bundchen, Anna Wintour and Tilda Swinton, who were chauffeured to the events in brightly-colored vintage cars. Kendall Jenner walked the runway, as did Binx Walton, Soo Joo Park, along with a handful of Cuban models.

The presentation ended with a Carnival-esque finish, complete with drummers and singers, who accompanied the models as they danced down the street. Karl Lagerfeld closed the event, walking hand in hand with his godson, Hudson Kroenig.

Chanel finished with an after party at which onlookers delightfully spied head designer Karl Lagerfeld dancing with model Cecile Cassel. Lagerfeld wore a shimmery jacket from Saint Laurent’s spring 2016. It was designer’s Hedi Slimane’s final menswear collection with the label, a satorial choice by Lagerfeld that will no doubt add a bit more fuel to the rumor that this show will be Lagerfeld’s final one with Chanel, with Slimane said to be next in line to replace him.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
