Resort 2027: Premier Models
The Resort 2027 cruise season brought fashion to some of the most unexpected and iconic locations of the year. From Times Square to a gilded Manhattan museum, from the Basque coast of France to the hills of Los Angeles, four of the world's most powerful luxury houses staged shows that went far beyond the runway - and our models were at the centre of all of it.
GUCCICORE TAKES OVER TIMES SQUARE
Demna's Gucci Resort 2027 show — dubbed GucciCore — shut down several blocks of Times Square for a night, commandeeringits famous billboards and turning one of the world's busiest spaces into a fashion spectacle. The collection was a confident, wearable statement: tailored suits, low-rise denim, sequinned evening gowns, and the kind of dressed-up-dressed-down energy that defines Demna's vision for the house.
Sheila Bewar walked the Gucci Cruise 2027 show and also appeared in the GucciCore online runway release — a strong dual presence across both the live event and its digital extension. Felix Friedman featured in the online release too.

LOUIS VUITTON CRUISE 2027 AT THE FRICK COLLECTION
Nicolas Ghesquière took Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 to the newly renovated Frick Collection in Manhattan — the first time the museum had ever hosted a fashion show — launching a three-year cultural partnership between the two institutions. The collection explored the tension between Paris and New York, with Keith Haring's graphic work woven throughout: across bags, clothing, and a series of playful accessories including boxing gloves and vinyl record purses.
CHANEL CRUISE 2027 IN BIARRITZ
Matthieu Blazy chose Biarritz for his first Cruise collection at Chanel — returning to the very town where Gabrielle Chanel established her first couture house in 1915. Titled Sous le Salon, la Plage (Below the Salon Lies the Beach), the show was a love letter to the Atlantic coast: sailor stripes, fish-scale paillettes, coral-embellished hats and mermaid-inspired sequin gowns. Playful, precise, and deeply rooted in the house's founding spirit.
Nine of our models walked the Chanel Resort 2027 runway — one of the strongest tallies of the cruise season.
DIOR CRUISE 2027 IN LOS ANGELES
Jonathan Anderson brought Dior to Hollywood for Cruise 2027 — staged at LACMA's newly opened David Geffen Galleries as the sun set over the city. The show notes arrived as a mock screenplay titled Wilshire Boulevard. Vintage Cadillacs lined the forecourt. In a first for Anderson's tenure, Dior Men and womenswear walked the same runway together.
The Dior Resort 2027 collection drew on golden-age Hollywood glamour and the house's long history with cinema — channelled through sculptural silhouettes, poppy-print dresses, ladybug minaudières, and an Ed Ruscha collaboration. Kaja K opened the show, leading a strong lineup of seven Premier models across the evening.
IN REVIEW
A season defined by location, intention, and craft. Our models were part of every conversation that mattered this cruise season — and the year is only just beginning.
