Every December since 2002, Lagerfeld has chosen one city to present a Metiers d'Art show and celebrate this craftsmanship.
It is also a way to showcase the specialty couture ateliers that Chanel owns.
Last December, Lagerfeld chose Cinecitta Theatre No 5 in Rome for his show.
Cinecitta Theatre No 5 is the studio where Federico Fellini filmed his 1960s masterpieces La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2 and Cassanova.
Cinecitta was also home to the popular movie Roman Holiday.
