1. Dior in Marrakech

Despite Yves Saint Laurent's renowned love for Marrakech, it is the Dior fashion house that is heading to the Moroccan city to show its cruise 2020 collection. The show is slated for April 29 and is likely to kick off the cruise show season. The French fashion house is yet to reveal the exact location of the show—which promises to be a grandiose and sun-soaked affair. Last year, Dior staged its cruise show at the Grandes Écuries de Chantilly on the outskirts of Paris.

3. Chanel in Paris

The fashion world will be heading to the French capital to see Chanel's cruise 2020 collection on the runway. This year, the French fashion house has picked a place that it holds dear—the Grand Palais—which also hosts the brand's ready-to-wear and haute couture shows. Scheduled for May 3, the show is likely to be organized under the helm of Virginie Viard, who succeeded Karl Lagerfeld following the designer's death on February 19.
