Take A Dip For Chanel Cruise 2009?

Cruise 2009 shows are nearly upon us and judging from Chanel's extravaganza last season in the Santa Monica airplane hanger they will be leading the pack this season as well. For Chanel Cruie 2009 Karl Lagerfeld is taking the brand to Andre Balazs luxe Miami hotel, The Raleigh on May 15, where Lagerfeld’s ladies will apparently be making good use of the pool. Chanel has released a 22 second teaser podcast to tantalizing rabid fans and give us poor daily editors some content.


The extravagance of cruise season has become a little alarming. We are half expecting a giant Chanel branded above ground pool with the models wading through a watery catwalk honestly. With the constant media attention to what feels like a never ending parade of Fashion Weeks, larger fashion houses are leveraging every opportunity to get their message across. And Chanel is taking better advantage than most of the intense scrutiny with their impressive new digital presence. With Cruise season just around the corner we will certainly be paying attention. But then we already feel like we got a jump on what indulgent off season trends are most important thanks to Australia Fashion Week. We expect that the only ground breaking Chanel Cruise 2009 will do is for some elaborate installation. And just for memories sake we are including a host of images from Chanel Cruise 2008.
