Chanel goes When in a Roman Holiday

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel told writer Paul Morand (The Allure of Chanel [Pushkin Press]), “Fashion should express the place, the moment.”

For its annual Métiers d’Art (alongside Resort) held in special places every December (and May for Resort/Cruise), Karl Lagerfeld does exactly that.


With the fashion fans, press and retailers gathered in Roma today for Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2016 outing, here are feel-good movies set in the Eternal City.


Rome has such an amazing history and when you visit the city, you get to see this history, as shown in Roman Holiday.

And the food. Of course; it was the first to-do in Eat, Pray, Love.

And oh, our childhood favorites:

When In Rome with MK (Related: MARY-KATE OLSEN AND OLIVIER SARKOZY REPORTEDLY MARRIED ON BLACK FRIDAY) and A O.; and

The Lizzie McGuire Movie (wehehehe)

Karl Lagerfeld's short Once and Forever starring Kristen Steward will debut at Rome's Cinecittà studios, as part of the spectacle. That, and we'll see how KL and Co. imbues Rome, Italy. into the latest Chanel collection.
