\"chanel<\/a>Lace tights, strings of pearls and\u00a0baguettes. Of all the things I could expect to find in\u00a0Cinecitt\u00e0, the temple of Roman cinematography where colossal movies like\u00a0Ben Hur and\u00a0Cleopatra were shot, the streets of Paris were the very last thing on my mind. But maybe I should have suspected it from the the official\u00a0hashtag: #ParisinRome<\/em>. A clear clue of the fact that, this time, Chanel’s\u00a0M\u00e9tiers d’Art<\/strong> collection\u00a0was not going to be inspired by the place the show took place at, as it always been in the past, but it would have instead been the elected city, Rome, to become the theater\u00a0in which\u00a0Karl Lagerfeld would have staged\u00a0Paris.\u00a0Does\u00a0Mademoiselle seems\u00a0the type to be influenced by the places she lived in, borrowing clothes and habits?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Well, apparently, during her extraordinary and extremely intense life,\u00a0Gabrielle Chanel also\u00a0lived in Rome<\/strong> for a while: in via Giulia to be exact, one of the most beautiful streets of the historic city, where the designer lived her very personal version of the\u00a0Dolce Vita,\u00a0hanging out with\u00a0directors and writers and dressing the actresses that starred in\u00a0Antonioni’s\u00a0and\u00a0Visconti’s movies with her tweed jackets and her\u00a0little black dresses.<\/p>\n

They are in fact the muses who inspired the collection presented at the\u00a0Teatro N\u00b05<\/strong> (Fellini favorite’s theater), transformed by\u00a0Lagefeld into a black and white longtime gone Paris; a romantic tribute to a city that is hurt but proudly gets back on its feet. \u00a0Wearing a look composed\u00a0of\u00a03 pieces\u00a0(tunic, skirt and\u00a0leggings, all knitted\u00a0) but also slip\u00a0dresses\u00a0that reveal an unexpected sexy side of the maison, walking fiercely wearing military boots\u00a0but also bicolor mules that feature a high heel decorated by a snake and a pearl, Chanel’s Parisians are the only ones able to enjoy a\u00a0Roman Holiday<\/em>\u00a0without being captured by the charm of\u00a0the Vespa, but enchanting Italians, instead,\u00a0with their boldly\u00a0chic\u00a0attitudine.<\/p>\n
