Without these master craftswomen the designers are handcuffed. The true unsung heroes of the runway. Thank you for spotlighting them the world cannot appreciate them enough.

[@framboisefraise1423]

No

[@stefkadank-derpjr1453]

AMEN!

[@TheFiown]

It is very hard for the workrooms after a show, we go into a sort of shock as suddenly all our 'babies' are taken away to be used in the press and commercial showrooms and we are left sitting in the middle of scraps and patterns. Luckilly the rythm is such that it doesn't last long and we begin to work on the next collection. First we have to sort out the patterns, make sure that no pieces or info is missing, then sort through the fabrics then the threads and then recover the work tables and generally wipe away the previous collection. At Chanel they use the workrooms to make the garments that are on order from clients in couture so there is an overlap. I remember doing a coat for Karl that had 6 metres of silk chiffon in each metre of trim made by Lemarié and we needed 16 metres of trim for the coat ! We made two for the show and one for Linda Evangelista as a gift.

[@0608jeffrey]

Hi Stephanie! Could you tell us the secret of how to be an apprentice in these haute couture houses? I am dying for it

[@TheFiown]

@@0608jeffrey Hi Jeffrey, well in the past I had two apprentices, one is in Hollywood now and the other is head of workrooms at Chanel. In Paris you have to be in a fashion school and you Apply to a fashion couture house for an apprenticeship as part of your training. My two did three days in house and two days in school but were allowed more time in house during collections. Both of my apprentices I gave garments to do completely but mostly in these houses you get just to help out here and there. SO you have to be in the 'system' in order to get a foot in the door. You can also do internships but these are usually reserved for 'friends' of the personnel or the kids of clients etc. It's a tough world to get into but you have to persevere and set yourself a goal. My 'boy' apprentice is like my son and we travelled together to India and Brazil and we are in touch all the time, I have known him since he was 17 ! I Don't have any contacts in these houses anymore as I am out of the system, retired. Good luck.

[@0608jeffrey]

Stephanie Murray Thank you so much for your Stephanie! I’m more clear with my path! Deeply appreciated!

[@jenniferschmitzer299]

Stephanie, Thank you so much for explaining to me, a little tiny keyhole view into the industry. You must've made the impossible possible in your time there, as I would believe, others of the same level done so as well 😍 It amazes, incites, makes my brain go on incredible adventures as to how the pieces came about - not just the drawings.. the rooms in which the items are created and it amuses me greatly (not in a bad way, a happy filled way) how much you all used science ( ie physics, solids, entities not solid at all, masses of varied texture and weight to create an object to behave in a certain way) plus the creative heart and soul and ability to meld these seemingly disparate things in a harmonious fashion. I've always adored our vestements, not just for the latest thing.. mostly for the ingenuity of those in the ateliers and those involved. especially when, I see things created and think to myself, ooh.. i think i saw something like this .. just like a noblewoman's chemise most likely florentine.. ooh hang on.. wrong.. look at that black work and someone put in a bit of something else which makes it hang all frouffy like a 17th century mercantile.. but slimmed the armsyces and rear upper torso a lot.. so its proportionally perfect 🥰🥰🥰 and then, wow us with something else totally different and make it work ❤️❤️❤️

[@aprilschumann3162]

Stephanie Murray thank you for commenting.

Olivia was my apprentice, I gave her her first jacket to make for a fashion show, she was so happy to be able to do it, it gave her confidence. She is very talented and also a great underwater diver !! She so deserves her current position today.

The way the fabrics move so flawlessly costs time, money, and energy. No wonder they're so expensive.

Cette vidéo était parriculièrement spéciale. C’est toujours émouvant de voir comment les couturier(e)s parlent des pièces avec fierté, passion et amour. Elles ont l’air très sympathiques en plus ! La collection est magnifique. Mme. Viard a réussi à garder l’essence de Chanel tout en apportant par ci et par là sa propre touche. Une réussite totale !

[@fernandasalvador3180]

IT’S COUTURE, BABY !

[@jaimereza7349]

That was fascinating! Those ateliers work with such obvious passion for what they do. Their love for their clothes is transmitted in the finished product. Quelle artistes!

[@weRarmy_weRBL]

I love how open are all with you about their techniques and secrets. It's clear they appreciate your work and how much you love and admire fashion! Maybe one day I will be able to own one (one of the cheapest of course!) ... one day... so far only sunglasses 😍😍😍 Only critique I have is the flat shoes.. for the suits they were fine ... the dresses, that amazing red one or the black and silver... no flats please!

[@LoicPrigent]

The French don't respect the no flat policy anymore!

[@jackieosborne927]

I enjoyed this behind the scenes so much! It’s wonderful to see craftspeople and artisans work and the pride they feel creating art. From someone who has done trade shows for many years, I understand the stress and pressure to pull off such an event. More of these please!

[@gabyfeza]

Je me rappelle de Madame Cécile qui racontait les superstitions dans les ateliers coutures, selon l’endroit où l’on se piquait avec l’aiguille. Toujours un bonheur d’entendre les premières d’atelier parler des collections

Cette vidéo était incroyable de tendresse, de passion et de dévotion pour ce magnifique art qu'est la haute couture. On respire l'esprit de Karl et de la maison Chanel dans cette humabilité de ces premières grandes Dames.

I love so much to see the artists passionately speak about the garments they make. It really is inspiring. I'm sure it feels nice for them to be able to point out the details of their expertise.

Ah, so lovely to see Madame Jacqueline and Cecile again. I remember the first time I ever watched them in action in your Signé Chanel series. I've rewatched that show countless of times. The amount of work and detail of the ateliers is just unparalleled and the artistry is such a treasure to behold. I also really appreciate your zest and infectious energy behind the camera. It clearly spreads positive vibes on screen to see such enthusiasm about the ateliers and the level of work that goes into creating unique and artistic pieces. Merci, Loic! And well done to the Chanel team for a fabulous collection.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Stunning! I love the move back to more historical inspirations. That for me, is what Chanel really excels at. And I also just love historical fashion. I don’t sew modern clothing, I find it boring.

[@emiarut7797]

Again, this is why fashion models are needed to bring out the message of one dress. Not some famous KZbinrs who doesn't know how to present the dresses on the runway. Making a dress is an art and hardwork. That's the model's job, to present the art and hardwork of the people behind it.

[@infallibleblue]

Quality and the finest workmanship is the art and designers are the dreamers that’s why when you get both it’s so special.

I always say fashion is wearable art. Chanel truly is wearable fine art. Boggles the mind how much thought, workmanship and expertise goes into everything! I also love how light-hearted the different heads of ateliers are, and seeing your interactions with them!

Loved seeing all the little design details of this collection. It was a great treat to be behind the scenes.

[@nycp1969]

Haute couture of today looks much more elaborate and painstaking than that of the 1920s, 30s, etc. Karl Lagerfeld seems to have felt the same way. I remember reading a quote years ago where he said that the haute couture of past decades was more like the highest boutique-level ready to wear of today. Looking at vintage Chanel and other designers in books and museum exhibits, it appears to be the case. Today's haute couture is almost otherworldly in terms of lavish detail and precision.
