If you are a fan of Dior, you will know that the tulle skirt plays an important role in their history and design. Paying homage to the classic post-War New Look created by the house, their latest tulle skirt design offers chic sophistication.

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 […]

How Dior Is Passing On The Secrets Of Haute Couture
In 2009 I packed up my life in Canada and traveled to Paris, France to get certified in Haute Couture Beadwork and Embroidery. One of the main reasons I went to Paris was so I could help keep the traditional techniques alive. With an ageing population, and a younger generation who are not as interested […]
Chanel Métiers d’Art Salzburg 2014/15
Every year, Karl Lagerfeld hosts an amazing fashion show called Métiers d’Art which showcases the work of Chanel’s atelier houses. This year, the show was held in Salzburg. Since studying at the Lesage embroidery house myself, I have become increasingly interested in the traditional atelier houses that service the Haute Couture industry.

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 […]
Chanel Embroidery
I have found another inspiring video that shows the work that goes into the Chanel Haute Couture collection. Being trained by Chanel in their embroidery house, I have had the luxury of experiencing the amount of work required to create Chanel’s lavish collections. Hopefully by showing these videos, others will also begin to appreciate the […]
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 […]
