Chanel's May 3 "Coco Cuba" show took place on the Paseo del Prado, Havana’s main thoroughfarem which also serves as a symbol of the links uniting Cuba and France thanks to a redesign in 1928 by a French landscape architect, who placed eight bronze statues of lions—one of Coco Chanel’s beloved emblems of strength—at each of the crossroads. The audience took in the open-air show seated on park benches.

Guests were chauffeured to the show in more than 100 brightly colored 1950s American convertibles rented for the evening. The vintage cars of Cuba appeared as a print on several gowns, including a flowing dance dress that featured candy-colored prints of Buick, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac cars.
