Gucci will present the Cruise 2019 Collection in the Roman necropolis of Arles

Save this date and this place: May 30, 2018, Arles, in France.

They are the day and place chosen by Gucci to present the Cruise Collection 2019. After the DIA Art Foundation in New York in 2015, Westminster Abbey in London in 2016 and the Palatine Gallery in the Pitti Palace in Florence last May (also if the first choice was the Parthenon of Athens, declared unavailable), it now the turn of Alyscamps, a thousand-year-old necropolis, UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Alessandro Michele confirms his preference for ancient history because, as the designer had explained to Vogue:

"To feel the contemporary, I need to know that something was there before. I need to touch it".

No wonder then that for the first time that a fashion show has an ancient cemetery as its location, the only thing we ask ourselves is how this place will influence Michele's creations.

To find out, we have only wait a few months.
