New York - Karl Lagerfeld has decided that Havana should not only be the location for Chanel's next cruise collection show, but also the location for him to unveil an exhibition of his photography.

Factoria Habana will be host to "Obra en Proceso/Work in Progress" beginning this Thursday until May 12. The exhibit is part of a month long celebration of French culture in Cuba organized by Alliance Francaise. The 200 photographs will be grouped according to Lagerfeld's three primary interests which include fashion, landscape, and architecture. The photos featured depict Lagerfeld's use of different types of cameras and printing techniques.

Chanel is hosting an opening party on May 1, while the cruise collection is scheduled to go down the catwalk on May 3.

This is the second exhibit devoted to the designer's photos. An exhibition of Lagerfeld's photos will also go up at Pitti Uomo in Florence in June.
