The world’s major fashion houses do like to put on a good show, as seen every year at Chanel for example (including one right we attended in Singapore). Next year, Chanel is going Cruising in Havana, Cuba (we wonder what Fidel thinks of that) while Louis Vuitton will be showing the Cruise collection in Rio de Janeiro. Women’s Wear Daily reports that the Nicolas Ghesquière-helmed brand has selected the city of Christ the Redeemer for the 2017 Resort collection. In a non sequitur of sorts, the original AFP story we drew this information from cited Louis Vuitton as an Italian brand; AFP is course a French wire service. In any case, the service also reports that Gucci is going fully Occidental for its fun-in-the-sun show, heading to London of all places. Gucci, incidentally is an Italian brand, but under French ownership via the Kering Group.
