Communist chic, c'est unique? As part of the recently launched "Month of the French Culture" in Cuba, Chanel is presenting the exhibition, "Obra en Proceso / Work in Progress," by Karl Lagerfeld at the Factoría Habana, which will run from April 28 to May 12.

Today, creative director Karl Lagerfeld and the fashion set are descending upon El Paseo del Prado, one of the main streets in Havana that divides Centro Habana from Old Havana, to experience the Parisian fashion house's 2016/17 cruise runway show.

Chanel posted a photo of the Cuban flag to announce the arrival of the brand's team two days ago. Other guests such as The Coveteur's creative director and co-founder Jake Rosenberg started posting photos on social media using the hashtag #CocoCuba on Monday, May 2. Gisele Bundchen, a face of Chanel — who was notably absent from last night's "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology"-themed Met Ball in New York City — captioned a snapshot of the city on her Instagram: "Hola Cuba!"
