Chanel has today announced that its next pre-spring summer – or Cruise – show will be hosted in Dubai, on 13 May.

Chanel Cruise is renowned for its far-flung and glamorous show locations, most recently, Dallas.

While the exact venue has not yet been released, we are sure it will be nothing but spectacular – Dubai, home to the tallest building in the world, is much like Karl Lagerfeld in not doing things by halves.

The label also happens to have five ready-to-wear stores in the emirate state. Could those rumours surrounding Karl Largerfeld creating his own 'fashion island' be about to be realised?
