Belgian designer Raf Simons (R) It's a double-crossing situation at Dior, but there are no tricks involved. The French luxury label will be traversing the Atlantic to New York City, and then (this is where it gets scary for the fashion pack) crossing the Brooklyn Bridge .
Yes, you read that right, the famed couture house will be showing its Cruise 2015 collection in Brooklyn, at the Naval Yard on May 7. In fact they're following in the wake of Alexander Wang, who made waves with his own Fall-Winter 2014 show at the enormous Duggal Greenhouse space in February.
Dior wanted to go all out: "We wanted the show to feel very New York, and the Navy Yard's view and space captures the city" a spokesperson explained to WWD.
Last year's Cruise show was held at Monaco's Hôtel de Paris while previous years have seen the brand roll out the runway in Shanghai and New York City. Just last week, Dior also staged a one-off repeat of its last haute couture show in Hong Kong.
