wwd.comMAY DAYS: Fashion will truly be a movable feast next month. Chanel is showing cruise in Saint-Tropez, while Christian Dior is headed to Shanghai. Now comes word that Jean Paul Gaultier is taking his couture to Moscow. Gaultier is slated to reprise his summer high fashion show in the Russian capital on May 14 at the invitation of his partner there, Bosco di Ciliegi, which has operated the designer’s Moscow boutique since 2005.
vogue.itWhereas for the fashion shows and presentations of designers' top ranges the fashion capitals are the compulsory locations, for the cruise collections it is possible to break ranks. Saint Tropez is to be the backdrop for the presentation of new Chanel cruise range at sunset on 11th May at Café Senequier. To mark the occasion a video filmed by Karl Lagerfeld himself will be shown, with US model Heidi Mount and French actor Pascal Greggory as the stars. Dior will also be moving the presentation of its cruise collection from Paris to Shanghai, on 15th May. On that same day, the city will be hosting the presentation of a short twelve-minute film by David Lynch, which is linked to the Lady Dior advertising campaign shot by Steven Klein and starring Marion Cotillard. The actress recites a poem written by David Lynch himself and inspired by the Pearl Tower, which stands out against the background of a photo of the campaign, with a plot involving intrigue and secret agents.

After a two season hiatus, the Japanese designer, who in April showed his fall men’s collection in Tokyo, is heading back to Paris in time for spring 2011 men’s fashion week, which runs June 24 to June 27. For the past two seasons, the label men’s wear has been shown commercially at its Paris headquarters. The exact date and time for the upcoming men’s runway show is yet to be confirmed.

FRENCH TOUCH: Yves Saint Laurent is the latest French brand to take its cruise collection on the road — and to put it on a runway. YSL designer Stefano Pilati is heading to New York for an intimate showing of his pre-spring designs at the Consulate General of France on June 3. The small-scale show is to be held in one of the consulate’s silk-walled salons.
NEW RECRUIT: Paris-based designer Bouchra Jarrar has been invited to join the official couture calendar. Jarrar, who founded her signature couture label in January and showed structured, two-toned pieces, said she would “continue with the same concept for the next collection.” Jarrar has also been nominated for the ANDAM award, to be presented June 28. Prior to launching her brand, Jarrar worked at Balenciaga for almost a decade and was the former couture director at Christian Lacroix.
wwd.comCITY SWAPS: Italy’s Camera della Moda is still fine-tuning its schedule for men’s fashion week in Milan, and, while a first draft shows no major adjustments to the head count, a few houses will forgo the runway in June. Alexander McQueen, Les Hommes, Missoni and Moschino are opting for presentations, while CP Company will show its collection solely at the Pitti Uomo trade fair, which kicks off in Florence on June 15. The trade show’s special guest of honor, Jil Sander, also will present its collection in the Tuscan capital this season on June 17. Trading places, Pitti Uomo stalwart Corneliani will make its Milan runway debut, as will Turkish designer Umit Benan. Calvin Klein also returns to Italy’s fashion capital after last season’s hiatus. Finally, Ermenegildo Zegna and Z Zegna will present its collections simultaneously.
