After recent stops in Monte Carlo and Provence, Chanel will unveil its next cruise collection in Los Angeles.
The show, which will take place on May 9th (that’s the second Tuesday in May in case you’re curious), is the second time the storied French maison has shown in the City of Angels. In 2007, Karl Lagerfeld staged an extravagant show for the cruise 2008 collection—even by Chanel standards—in a Santa Monica hangar with the models coming out of two giant Challenger 601 jets, which according to our review of the show, “elicited a standing ovation before the first model hit the people mover.”

The set is likely to be a lot different this time around, the press release describes the first time Coco Chanel visited Los Angeles was in 1931, on the invitation of the producer Samuel Goldwyn, who asked her to dress Hollywood actresses. Does this mean the collection will pay homage to old Hollywood glamour? Either way, we’ll be watching.
