The CHANEL Cruise 2024/25 show was held at the MAMO, Centre d’art de la Cité radieuse in Marseille.

Balenciaga’s Spring 25 show occurred at nightfall at the Museum of Art Pudong. The runway was held outdoors in a twilightscape with a view to the bund and Shanghai’s iconic skyline.

It also featured experimental semi-couture and couture dresses.
