Karl Lagerfeld Chanel Métiers d’Art collection

The Paris Haute Couture shows highlight France’s skilled artisans, ‘les petites mains’, who handstitch every detail of each exquisite gown.

In order to protect the future of couture, the house of Chanel has bought up many of these studios, including legendary embroiderer Lesage.
