After rumors began swirling a few months ago, Louis Vuitton has now confirmed that creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere will present the house’s pre spring/summer 17 collection in Rio de Janeiro. The show is scheduled to take place in the Brazilian coastal city on May 28, 2016. The outing follows Chanel’s trip to the Americas, in which Karl Lagerfeld will present the Parisian brand’s pre collection in Havana, Cuba on May 3. The Louis Vuitton runway show travels to Rio at the start of a big summer for the city, which will see the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games arrive in town in August and September respectively.
