A look into the World of Julien Fournié

I have attended a few Julien Fournié Haute Couture shows, and am always impressed with the designer and the way he creates wearable feminine, yet edgy clothing.

The Embroidery of Chanel Couture

Once again I am in awe at the impressive embroidery produced by “les petites mains” in the Lesage atelier for the house of Chanel Fall Winter 2014/2015 collection. The craftsmanship never disappoints, and seems to always be creating new innovative ways to stay relevant in today’s fashion. This video shows the way the artisans make beads mimic the traditional Chanel tweed, and how the layered sequins create a beautiful 3D effect. Karl Lagerfeld always stays true to his ate

Chanel Bombay Métiers d’Art Collection

Karl Lagerfeld showed his Bombay collection for Chanel in Paris back in December 2011, and it was a wonderful showcase of artisan craftsmanship. The theme “Paris-Bombay” was a reminder that Europe’s fashion industry has increasingly turned to India to produce handcrafted pieces. It has become expensive for the designers to make them in Paris as the ateliers are becoming obsolete. Lagerfeld’s plan was to flip the equation, so that everything that looked intricately Indian
