Similar Stories to Celebrities Jam Havana Streets For Chanel’s Cuban Takeover on Bing News

(HAVANA) — Fashionistas and celebrities from around the world flocked beneath klieg lights Wednesday night on a grand Havana colonial avenue transformed into a private runway for French fashion house Chanel. With hundreds of security agents holding ordinary Cubans behind police lines blocks away, actors Tilda Swinton and Vin Diesel, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and Cuban music stars Gente de Zona and Omara Portuondo watched slender models sashay down Prado boulevard in casual summer clothes seemingly inspired by the art deco elegance of pre-revolutionary Cuba. With the heart of the Cuban capital briefly privatized by an international corporation under the watchful eye of the Cuban state, the premiere of Chanel’s 2016/2017 “cruise” line offered a startling sight in a country officially dedicated to social equality and the rejection of material wealth. Chanel welcomed the chance to show its creations in an unusual spot.
