From Gucci in London to Louis Vuitton in Shanghai, check out where luxury brands are setting sail for their upcoming collections.&nbsp;

With summer well underway, many luxury fashion houses have marked their calendars with destination fashion shows. From Pre-Fall 2024 to Cruise 2025, luxury brands have been teasing exotic and chic locations for their latest collections.
With the world as their oyster, fashion's top designers are carefully handpicking their destination fashion shows to honor their newest collections. From Capri to Hangzhou to Marseille, labels are hand-selecting the very finest locations.&nbsp;
Here at L'OFFICIEL, we've got you covered with all of the hottest upcoming destination fashion shows to look forward to.&nbsp;

In an announcement that took the fashion world by storm, Giorgio Armani announced that it would return to New York City after 11 long years. The revered luxury label, which typically shows in Milan, will present its Spring/Summer 2025 collection with a runway show in another of the world's largest fashion capitals.&nbsp;
Unlike many of the other designers flocking to New York City in the fall, Giorgio Armani will not show during the season's New York Fashion Week, which takes place in September. On October 17, 2024&mdash;the date of the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2025 runway presentation&mdash;the newly erected Giorgio Armani building will be unveiled. The expansion was reimagined to include a fresh, contemporary Giorgio Armani storefront, residential spaces, Armani/Ristorante, and Armani/Casa.&nbsp;
Of the decision to host the upcoming show in NYC and the opening of the new location, Giorgio Armani said that it is &ldquo;an important personal milestone because it crystallizes my vision of style in the city that was perhaps the first to truly embrace it.&rdquo; &nbsp;

For the next annual <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-metiers-d-art-manchester-collection-photos-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel M&eacute;tiers d'Art</a> runway show, the luxury label is touching down in Hangzhou, China. The collection is set to be presented on December 3, 2024. While the location of the runway show has yet to be revealed, fans can expect the venue to be equally as electrifying as the label's buzzy unveiling last year on Manchester's Thomas Street. The M&eacute;tiers d'Art collections aim to showcase the incredible savoir-faire of the label's artisans and often consist of intricately artistic garments, fantastical tweed creations, and detailed embroidered styles. Given that the previous M&eacute;tiers d'Art runway show was attended by high-profile friends of the house like Sofia Coppola, Kristen Stewart, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/hugh-grant-young-photos-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hugh Grant</a>, many fans expect that the upcoming show will be equally as star-studded.
Chanel has had an enduring connection with China, and over the years, has hosted numerous shows in locations ranging from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/loewe-shanghai-art-exhibition-crafted-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shanghai</a> to Shenzhen.&nbsp;
Hangzhou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its historic temples, tranquil gardens, and its iconic West Lake. The scenic city is also home to several of the world's biggest silk production sites.&nbsp;
"It&rsquo;s an exceptional destination in China and it&rsquo;s very inspiring for the M&eacute;tiers d&rsquo;Art collection," said Chanel SAS president Bruno Pavlovsky in an interview with <a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/chanel-fashion-show-hangzhou-china-1236476747/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WWD</a>. &nbsp;We&rsquo;ve had the opportunity to visit Hangzhou several times and we felt it had the same mysterious atmosphere. It has all the ingredients to make for something exceptional, unique, that has never been done before.&rdquo;
In the past, Chanel has visited cities like Dallas, Edinburgh, Salzburg, Rome, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/best-cocktail-bars-in-tokyo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tokyo</a> for the exhibition of Chanel M&eacute;tiers d'Art collections, so the choice of Hangzhou as the next stunning location comes as no surprise to longtime devotees of the Maison. The last time Chanel presented its M&eacute;tiers d'Art collection in China was 2009, when Karl Lagerfeld led the creative effort behind the memorable line.
While the fashion world is undoubtedly eagerly anticipating the reveal of the collection, many have wondered how the house will proceed with the line in the wake of longtime creative director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/virginie-viard-steps-down-at-chanel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginie Viard</a>'s departure. In response, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/marianna-hewitt-chanel-couture-fw-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> shared that its in-house studio team will be responsible for the creation of the collection in a collaborative effort. Although no specific deadline to fill the position has been revealed at present, there are likely numerous candidates in mind who will step up to the role in due time.&nbsp;

This fact, coupled with a destination show in the works for the second year in a row, bodes well for the future of the label.&nbsp;
While few details have been revealed surrounding the specific location of the show, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/carolina-herrera-fall-winter-2024-nyfw-show-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolina Herrera</a> has announced that the Cruise 2025 runway presentation will take place on November 14, just a few short weeks after the Spring/Summer 2025 runway as part of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/celebrities-spotted-at-nyfw-fall-winter-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Fashion Week</a>.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ami-launches-le-deja-vu-bag-catherine-deneuve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ami</a> has previously presented its Spring/Summer 2020 collection in Shanghai and boasts 18 brick-and-mortar stores in China, with the most recent location opening in Suzhou in November 2023.

Hosted in the city of Shanghai, LV hopes to honor the brand's long-lasting relationship with China after more than 30 years since the first storefront opened in Beijing in 1992.&nbsp;
The founder of the brand, Louis Vuitton first made a name for himself back in the 19th century with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-monogram-luggage-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his original luggage collection</a> of trunks and travel boxes.&nbsp;

After his return to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/ralph-lauren-spring-summer-2024-nyfw-runway-images">New York Fashion Week</a> last September, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/ralph-lauren-fashion-designer-facts-polo">Ralph Lauren</a> is heading home again for his Fall/Holiday 2024 collection with a show in New York on April 29. Born in the Bronx, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ralph-lauren-new-york-city-fall-2024-show">designer</a> has long used his hometown as a source of inspiration, but he seems to be leaning into his roots more these days. Though the venue has not been announced, the event is expected to be intimate and allude to the iconic city.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2024-paris-fashion-week-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> is ready to set sail to the south of France to present their Cruise 2025 collection on May 2. Hosting the show in the oldest city of France, <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/things-to-do-in-marseille" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marseille</a> is the quintessential place to showcase and celebrate the culture on the Mediterranean coast.&nbsp;
Chanel has been known to bring their collections around the world, including past runs in Les Baux-de-Provence, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-cruise-2023-collection-monte-carlo-monaco-fashion-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monte-Carlo</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-cruise-resort-2024-collection-looks-runway-photos-los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles.</a>&nbsp;

Gucci Men's Fall/Winter 2024.

The iconic luxury house had one of the more recent announcements of their special location for their annual Cruise collection. Last year, they hosted <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/inside-max-mara-s-new-exhibition-in-seoul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in Seoul</a> to honor their ties to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/south-korean-photographer-cho-gi-seok-coexistence-exhibition-fotografiska-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Korean</a> style, and this year they're taking it back a few centuries.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-horsebit-loafer-70th-anniversary-exhibit-mens-spring-summer-2024-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> will showcase its <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-cruise-2024-collection-seoul-south-korea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruise 2025 collection</a> this May at the Tate Modern art gallery in London, a city with special ties to the brand dating back to 1897 when founder Guccio Gucci took a job in London as a luggage porter for the wealthy. Through that experience, Gucci found inspiration for the designs and ideas that would be at the core of his brand. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-spring-summer-2024-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Creative Director Sabato de Sarno</a> is eager to honor the city's rich history and connection to Gucci. The Cruise 2025 show is set to take place on May 13.&nbsp;

Louis Vuitton Fall 2024 Ready-To-Wear.

In addition to its Shanghai show, Louis Vuitton is set to work with Barcelona for its <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-cruise-2025-barcelona">Cruise 2025</a> show, honoring the heritage and creativity of both the city and brand. This destination event will take place on May 23 with the latest innovations from Artistic Director of Women's Collections <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/louis-vuitton-fall-winter-2024-pfw-show">Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re</a> focusing on the "Art of Travel." Though the venue is yet to be announced, the show will set the stage for the House's 37th America's Cup, an international sailing competition, and a series of future collaborations.

Mark your calendars for May 30 as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/balenciaga-pre-fall-2024-show-collection-images-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> intends to reveal its Spring/Summer 2025 collection for both men and women early in the captivating locale of Shanghai. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/demna-gvasalia-vetements-leaving-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Demna</a>&nbsp;is stepping out of his comfort zone with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shanghai-china-fashion-week-photos-looks-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shanghai</a>, as previous destination ventures at Balenciaga have been hosted in New York and Los Angeles under his leadership. However, it's an understandable choice considering that China currently houses the most <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cristobal-balenciaga-signature-looks-sack-dress-egg-coat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> store locations.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-fall-winter-2024-pfw-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dior</a> announced that the debut of its Cruise 2025 collection will be hosted in a garden setting in the beautiful landscape of Scotland. Mark your calenders for June 3 to embark on a whimsical garden tea party at the Drummond Castle, known for its picturesque location.
Last year's Cruise collection was hosted in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/dior-cruise-2024-collection-mexico-city-resort" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico City</a> to celebrate the culture and diversity Mexico brings to the fashion industry. This year, Dior will embrace its ties to the UK and jet off into the future of fashion.&nbsp;

The scenic location is an ode to one of Jacquemus' favorite films, "Contempt" by Jean-Luc Godard, a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/iconic-french-new-wave-films">French New Wave</a> classic in which the star Brigitte Bardot sunbathed nude on the villa's rooftop. The venue has been the site of fashion campaigns and has long inspired designers, but June 10 will be the first time it hosts a fashion show.

<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ginevra-elkann-interview-max-mara-collection-resort-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Max Mara</a> intends to unveil its Cruise 2025 on June 11 in one of Italy's most picturesque cities, <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/a-guide-to-the-new-venice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venice</a>. The luxury fashion house will take the floating city and make it its own, with details on a precise location still undisclosed.
The destination fashion show is set to overlap with the <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/men/pitti-uomo-99-sustainable-style-2-menswear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pitti Uomo</a> trade show in Florence, showcasing Max Mara's influence during key moments in the fashion industry.&nbsp;
