With modern chanel purse
cake clothes becoming a mass-produced commodity, however, these firms have
found it difficult to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the world of haute couture depends
on these small companies for their artisanal handiwork and age-old techniques.So
Chanel bought them over, beginning in 2002 with Lesage, the embroidery workshop
— or atelier — under the condition that they could work with other couture
houses as well. A clever move indeed. Chanel secured its supplies and in doing
so, helped save fashion’s dying art from being eaten alive by
commercialisation.Today,chanel
handbags embroidery comes from Lesage, the shoes from Massaro (who is
Lagerfeld’s personal shoemaker) and the buttons and costume jewellery from
Desrues. Michel makes hats while Lemarie provides feathers. Goosens is the
expert in gold and silver smithing and Guillet supplies floral accessories.At
the Lesage atelier, a 15-minute car ride away from rue Cambon (in the ninth
arrondissement), it was all about beads and embroidery. There were little
drawers where beads, in all possible shapes, sizes and colours live until they
are called upon to decorate an outfit.The Lesage archives store brown boxes
containing the atelier’s works, dating as far back as 1912’s Schiaparelli,
around the time of haute couture’s golden age.“Chanel Coin
Purse is different,” Emily, the assistant to Monsieur Lesage, said. “One of
the nicest clients to work with because they allow us to create new things from
the archives and not just replicate the motif. Some couture houses ask us to do
that (replicate). It’s so unimaginative. They treat this place like a mine.”A
fashion graduate from St. Martins, Emily was busy sewing beads on tulle when the
media group paid a visit to the atelier.“Personally, what I like about Chanel is
even when it is haute couture, the clothes are still wearable. You can see
yourself wearing the dresses if you can afford them. They are not just
statement-making pieces that are impossible to wear,” she continued.Once all the
components were ready, the final work went back to the studios where workers put
the outfits together and completed the finishing touches under the eyes of the
respective atelier managers.“We are all very proud of what we do; there is a
strong link between us and each dress that will be paraded on the runway,” chanel
bags Madame Martine said..It was less than 30 minutes to the show.
The inside of Grand Palais, near the Pont Alexandre III Chanel
Purse Forum which crosses the river Seine, has been transformed into a
round, stadium seating where a giant pipe organ with steel tubes was being
constructed.It was the hottest day of the week in Paris and the glass roof of
the Grand Palais conveyed the heat to the fashionable crowd of celebrities,
clients and writers from all over the globe who were busy fanning themselves
with their thick, white invites.American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour sat
in the front row. The magazine’s creative director, Grace Coddington and
editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley, were there too. So were German supermodel
Claudia Schiffer and singer Lenny Kravitz, as well as celebrated French
photographer Patrick Demarchelier.Everyone waited with bated breath for what
Lagerfeld had in store this season, for a brand that was often seen as the gold
standard in fashion.Models wearing bob chanel price
list hairstyles and dresses and coats, that just 18 hours ago were still at
the studios, came out one by one. And there it was … the painstakingly pleated
grey number earlier worn by the mannequin.Directly inspired by the pipe organ,
delicate tubing appeared everywhere. “It’s a visual effect that I am trying to
translate in shapes, embroideries and volumes,” said Lagerfeld.On flannel
outfits, tiny tubes narrowed the waist and gave volume to the hem. On satin,
silk faille or taffetas, they adorned sleeves, pockets, lapels and busts.“These
elements are stitched and embroidered. It’s totally incredible work. I wanted
the result to be light and chic. I did everything so it would not be heavy or
change the silhouette. It’s an absolute tour de force, a prowess of the ateliers

No machine can compete with the hand,” he said.The feather trimmings on a

Opened just a month ago, the spatial collaboration between Version Vendome and
Kreon is already busy catering to Paris' plugged-in architects and designers. On
the showroom floor, Version Vendome offers contemporary furnishings, including
wooden tables with sinuous lines, cubic chairs embedded with nails and
baroque-inspired, red resin chandeliers. Kreon‘s products, however, are less
obvious. The Belgian company's architectural lights hover from the ceiling,
enhancing the ambience of the space instead of competing for attention. If
you're a serious shopper, Kreon's subtle illumination may already be
familiar—Stella McCartney, Chanel and Colette stores are all outfitted with
them. According to our insider sources in Paris, Hedi Slimane and Karl Lagerfeld
are also fans of Kreon.7L, 7 rue de LilleSpeaking of Mr. Lagerfeld, if you're
