THE HOUSE OF DIOR | MAKING OF ESSENCE D’HERBIER

In 2017, to coincide with the NGV’s House of Dior: Seventy years of Haute Couture, two new couture works were commissioned for the fashion and textiles collection with funds donated by the David Richards Bequest and the F&T Supporters Group.
Essence d’Herbier was commissioned by the NGV after Katie Somerville, Senior Curator Fashion and Textiles attended Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first Dior Couture show in Paris in January 2017. In July 2016, Chiuri became the seventh designer and first female artistic Director at Christian Dior and her couture debut coincided with the 70th anniversary of the house.
As part of the acquisition process, documentary photography and film footage was taken in order to reveal some of the specialist techniques, tools and production methods specific to the making of couture garments and to give a behind-the-scenes-glimpse into the Dior ateliers.

Wish this was about 2 hours longer. I love seeing the art of couture. Meticulous care and precision. The techniques. The dream-like designs. Perfection.

I have always loved doing the hand sewing- it is sad that the "artists" aren't acknowledged!

[@joesanlaboson6596]

I understand now why it's expensive...

I love how neat and orderly everything looks in here. I wish I could just stand around watching everyone do their stuff all day long. How about make a long movie, a documentary, and put a lot of pretty music in there to give the idea of how peaceful it is to be a couture artist. I would love that, and everyone else too!

I just couldn’t stop thinking of Phantom Thread while I was watching this.
