Remembering Karl Lagerfeld
Karl Lagerfeld meant a lot to me. He is the reason why I went to Paris and studied at Lesage. He was the reason that Chanel acquired Lesage in 2002. And without his intervention, who knows where the atelier would be today, and where I would be today. I was lucky enough to meet Karl […]
Karl Lagerfeld Grew A Beard?
The topic of conversation in my house today was about beards. We were discussing when the beard trend started, and how many men now have beards. How did the trend start, and does it span across all generations? Has it officially become “fashionable?” We started this conversation after I went out for brunch this morning, […]

A look into the World of Julien Fournié

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 […]
