Feathers were precisely cut, steamed and curled, then made into collages to be sewn on to dresses and applied as panels for handbags. Dufat told me that one look can take several hundred hours of work.

Picture: Benoit Peverelli for Chanel. Ribbons of goose feather to be All in calm схема вышивки into flowers. Velvet edelweiss, pansies and narsturtiums. A week before Karl Lagerfeld arrived in Salzburg to be installed in the royal suite at the 18th-century Leopoldskron Palace with 17 acres of grounds and a lakea team of furniture restorers was sent in.

Lesage was bought by Chanel in As with all of the workshops, its partnership with Chanel is not exclusive; the idea was not to stifle the ateliers but to breathe new life — and investment — into them. But Chanel is its biggest client, with eight collections a year, including haute couture and ready to wear. The company now has 70 employees; when they are not making samples for the shows, they are working on commercial pieces — actual orders — for the house.

The historic Salzburg palace, which was used as a location in The Sound of Music, is now a conference centre and a hotel. So he sent in a crack team to wax, polish and spruce it up.

The Chanel Pantin staff canteen is a bright utility affair a world away from the Leopoldskron Palace, which, for the day of the show, was decorated with flowers and laden with an extravagant feast of kugelhopfs, sachertortes and other Austrian delicacies.

Women — often sitting opposite each other both working on the same piece of embroidery — quietly stitched away, gathering up tiny glass beads on their needles, or remaking a sample selected from the Lesage archive of more than 75, pieces of couture embroidery. Most of the embroideries had already gone to Chanel to be worked into the pieces for the collection, but the last All in calm схема вышивки were still in progress and the deadline was 3pm that day. But money is no object, and whatever material is needed — sequins, strass crystal, pearls from Japan, beads and silk thread in any shade that you can imagine — is available to use.

The level of All in calm схема вышивки, precision and quality of work at the craft ateliers is phenomenal.

When it was founded in there were more than such workshops in Paris, working mainly on feathered hats. With each of its 16 petals shaped by hand with hot curling irons, a single camellia takes on average an hour to make. All in calm схема вышивки tiny spriggy flowers look simple enough, but the fabric petals have to be cut using one of a choice of 4, cutting tools there is no petal that this atelier cannot replicatethen each is starched, carefully heated, curled and assembled.

We are proud of that. I think people today prefer to pay more for the fantastic pieces, quality and creativity — and that is a chance for us. Imagine the opposite mood; we are dead! Surprisingly, the work to embroider 47 pieces for this collection began only three and a half weeks before the show.

He knows exactly what he wants, but at the same time he gives total freedom to propose our own inspirations. That is fantastic because it is very rare — nobody does that.

She seemed surprisingly calm considering this was D-Day. Camellias in all their forms were also made into the most All in calm схема вышивки of posies and used as table decorations all around the Leopoldskron Palace. There were more than 60 women working away making flowers, and upstairs in another room, doing complicated smocking and feather work depicting Alpine landscapes complete with more flowers, rabbits and butterflies.

His mood board — a patchwork of photocopies with visual ideas that include The Sound of Music and lots of Alpine flora and fauna — feeds the collection. In the airy workshops there was an air All in calm схема вышивки calm urgency.

In November I visited these workshops to see the final touches being made to the Paris-Salzburg collection before the embroideries, ribbons, flowers and feathers were all carefully packed up and sent to the Chanel atelier at rue Cambon in central Paris.

No detail was too tiny, no crack too hairline, no plug socket not worth disguising: nothing, in short, was too much All in calm схема вышивки. In the workshops decamped from the old-fashioned cramped spaces they once inhabited, to spacious and airy state-of-the-art workshops in a modern All in calm схема вышивки estate in Pantin, on the outskirts of Paris.

The women and it is mostly women range in age from their 20s the workshops offer apprenticeships to their 60s. In Lesage launched its own embroidery school, and some of the embroiderers started there. In the embroidery workshop, two women were working on a Paris-Salzburg bag using the Luneville hook technique, which involves impossibly fast fingerwork on both sides of the canvas. They had been working on it for 15 hours. Altogether there were 40 embroiderers stitching away, many of them busy finishing pieces for Paris-Salzburg.
