Gucci and the city of Arles announced the upcoming Cruise2019 fashion show at the ancient site of Alyscamps on May 30 th, 2018.

Les Alyscamps is a UNESCO World Heritage site with one of the world’s most renowned Roman necropolis, which will provide a remarkable backdrop for Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s 2019 Cruise Collection.

This follows his previous Cruise presentations that have taken place in other culturally significant locations, including the DIA-Art Foundation in New York City, the Cloisters at Westminster Abbey in London and the Palatina Gallery in Florence’s Palazzo Pitti.

However, the city of Arles, consistently involved in cultural initiatives, is happy to collaborate with a luxury brand. This will be the first time that the ancient site of Alyscamps will host an event of this caliber.
