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 Wallets 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 Wallets is even when it is haute couture, the clothes are still wearable.

You can see yourself wearing the dresses if you can afford them. Chanel Purse Forum 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,” Madame Martine said..It was less than 30 minutes to the show. The inside of Grand Palais, near the Pont Alexandre III 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 Chanel Purse Forum season, for a brand that was often seen as the gold standard in fashion.Models wearing bob 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 Chanel Purse Forum absolute tour de force, a prowess of the ateliers. No machine can compete with the hand,” he said.The feather trimmings on a tweed jacket swayed like musical notes and the dramatic wedding gown, whose bobbing tulle was the centre of attraction, signalled the finale of a 20-minute fashion parade bearing 64 looks and more than 10,000 work-hours by hundreds of workers.After “King Karl” took his bow, the crowd clapped and one quietly wished that the applause would echo all over Paris, so the fine men and women who put the clothes together could listen to the well-deserved compliment.
