Behind the scenes: Chanel and the creation of couture

June 7, 2011

Have you seen the Signe channel videos for the creative process behind Chanel haute couture gowns?It’s an interesting behind the scenes look at the many people that take part in creating couture.  I can really see the level of detail, craftsmanship, and care that go into each couture piece; a whole army of people with different skills take part in adding a detail that contributes to the hand-made artistry of each item.

It certainly sheds some light on the astronomic prices of couture when you realize there are people that specialize in lace trims, beading, and different types of embroidery!

    This video is amazing! I agree that seeing clips like this helps justify the price. I also love the idea of buying something that is truly hand-crafted.
