Chanel pays homage to Roman cinema and Parisian style in Paris-Rome 2015/16 "Métiers d'art" collection

Chanel put on a dramatic display in Rome Tuesday night, using the legendary Italian film studio Cinecittà as the background for the unveiling of its Paris-Rome 2015/16 "Métiers d'art" pre-fall collection. It was a star-studded affair all round, with designer Karl Lagerfeld using the opportunity to debut a movie of his own -- the short film "Once and Forever," starring Hollywood starlet Kristen Stewart and Geraldine Chaplin . The runway itself was a movie-theater-worthy black and white cinema reconstruction of the City of Light.
