Philipp Plein is hosting his first resort runway show on May 24 in Cannes, during the city’s international film festival.
The coed show, presenting the brand’s cruise 2018 collections, will be held in the garden of La Jungle du Roi, the German designer’s impressive mansion, filled with works of art and featuring a garage with a range of supercars, located on the hills overlooking Cannes. Plein will open the doors of his house to about 300 guests, including celebrities, journalists and friends.
