I think karl should put more detail into his sketches for couture.Some of them look like scribbles so how can the atelier know exactly what details of embriodery e.c he wants?
When i sketch i put as much detail as i can onto the page.
I have a new appreciation for these lovely textiles. I can see why these dresses cost a lot of money. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. this outfit is no ready to wear garment and a person has to be an excellent cutter as well. my hats off to the wonderful textile artist. Thanks for this upload!
People people, without Karl Lagerfeld there would be no Chanel and without the seamstresses there would be no Chanel. They need each other. They are both geniuses! I mean Karl Lagerfeld doesn't "just" sketch, he had AMAZING talent, I would like to see some of you coming up with the ideas that he has. Just watch the documentary signé Chanel and you will get SO much respect for the entire house of Chanel and everyone who works there
wait i dont understand what thy did with the crayon, tracing paper, and that white powder? how does that put studs onto leather? if thats what the end product is..
@cocotiks She was making a pattern. The needle without thread poked holes into the tracing paper and then the talc is rubbed over it to transfer the pattern to the fabric. Then they stitch over it.
@MermaidMederis well ready to wear i the primary collection which tends to translate into a commercial way. Haute Couture is much more exclusive. And much more expensive, obviously to create. Designers sometimes may sell the pieces to faithful clients or very wealthy patrons, and often times they don't sell any piece. So yes, it only happens once a season so twice a year, and only a select few designers actually do it. Its more to show off the art of couture and the high of fashion craftsmanship
Ignorant people fail to understand that designing clothes is not just sketching and receiving paychecks, there is so much more than that. In addition, when you stop and think for a minute that Karl Lagerfeld designs 6 collections a year for Chanel alone INCLUDING 2 COUTURE, plus around 4 collections for Fendi and 2 for the KarlLagerfeld brand, that makes around 12 collections each year of roughly 45 pieces each, which imply EXTRAORDINARY amounts of effort and time. Its is a SHITLOAD of work.
@videocrack246 EXACTLY !!! and anyone who does not understand the importance of what a Designer particularly as couturier does needs only to look at what JUST happened at Dior without Galliano !!
that's funny, but its true... not that brilliant of a collection, was it?. ANOTHER thing that bothers me! Ignorant people are now like why did they fire Galliano, then? Well, the whole "situation" was naturally going to stain the Christian Dior name, it already did actually. Arnault and Toledano had no choice but to fire him, AS MUCH AS IT HURT THEM (because Galliano was INDEED the correct-est designer for the Dior brand) but they just morally couldn't keep him hired! Aahh, ignorance bothers me!
@Metronomic sorry to disappoint you, but Gabrielle did sew. Infact she spent most of he life making hats to get by before branching out into clothing, which see made for her young sister mostly... Learn your history ass..
Karl Lagerfeld is paid for his creations, and brands like Chanel, treat their entire team like a luxury team.
The seamstresses and embroiderers work hard to please Karl, and the reason they still do this is to get paid the way they do. If I was doing what I love and drives me, and still get paid, I wouldn't quit my job. and even more so if I worked for Chanel :)
Lagerfeld does his part, with the ideas and the concept of what is going to work right and what is not.
The craftsmanship here is the result of the dedication, caring, meticulous planning of those people: they know they are important.The appreciation for the finished product give them a sense of great pride and accomplishment. They could look for another job if they were not well paid, but they love what they do. That is the most fascinating thing in fashion: Love and dedication.
a lot of you making comments don't have a clue about fashion, none the less about haute couture, there is no dout that this ladies are super talented but they didn't just pull that dress design out of they ___, so for the few of you that said that Karl doesn't do anything, that is his vision and design talent and this ladies just putted together, this a DESIGNER not an semstress.
What is interesting is that the famous "House" designers do not actually make anything. It's the Ittaliers(sp?) that do all the work. Laugerfeld and the others just draw the concept or idea. It's up to the "workers" to make the dream come alive.
couture is nothing to be scoffed at. it is a serious craft. watching this you can understand why couture is so expensive. it takes many hands to make one dress.
This is artisanal craftsmanship, not menial work. It is not quite simple. There is synergy between the design and the craft. Look at their hands - look at the relaxation, discernment and sensitivity in those fingers, and the way the eye-hand connection is reflected in every stage of the dressmaking.
These workers are skilled, not menials. Menial work can be done effectively by anyone who puts their mind to it, but this craft requires a touch that not everyone has.
does anyone know what the name of that special needle that lady uses to put on the sequins is called. It's towards the end before she flips it over... I think it would make sewing sequins a lot easier would it? than the traditional method of stitching it down one at a time..
It's such a shame that these works of art are put on 14-year-old girls with no clue of the grandeur. Later they are sold off to socialite flakes with new money. Anatema!
@Cla900 Yes! But we all know Karl gets paid in boatloads! and thats fantastic for him, he has earned that, but the seamstresses put in an incredible amount of effort. So they probably do get paid much higher than your average job, but compared to Karl, they must be making peanuts!!
@x109256 That is absolutely not true. I work with a wonderful woman at a bank and her sister in law works as a seamstress for Chanel and she lives in Downtown manhattan and lives an amazing life.
@ijojoi159 You are a fucking moron. And a liar. Chanel does no manufacturing in Manhattan. PERIOD. Comparing forever 21 to Chanel show your complete lack of intelligence
@x109256 Well, of course they don't get paid as much as the CREATIVE DIRECTOR or what ever he is, the soul of the company... but trust me, they get paid.
@x109256 I am sure these women are compensated quite sufficiently....it is the 21st Century, and this is Chanel, not a slave labor camp. These women seem competent and intelligent - if they weren't happy, I'm sure they'd find someplace else to be. Of course they do not get paid what Karl Lagerfeld does...HE is the genius behind Chanel today.
@x109256 If a collection is good, yes, he takes the credit. But if it is bad, he takes the blame also. It is his head on the line, no one elses. It isn't so much about the "work" as it is about the responsiblity he carries.
@x109256 Well I bet they don't cair, I would love to work for Karl even though I wouldnt get paid a lot. I'd love to be working on such art pieces as he disign's. For them it is already a dream and a big honour to work for him because this is the highest you can get in tayloring. And I actually know that they get paid very well indeed. And that they like it.
@x109256 Yes, but thats what they CHOSE to do. And I bet you Karl did the same exact thing, when he first started out making his own designs. When your as high as Karl..you have people do the work. While he says what's right..and goes to meetings..and works with other designers..and creates. And Im not saying this in a mean way at all.
@zimalien And he should try to do wht this women does, in every each dress, just then, he could be named a completly artist, Coco Did it. He Must too!. jajjaja. sorry i love chanel, but, his arrogance, is paranoic. even that! i like him. =)
but no one does what he does.....both parts are indispensable....without Karl the seamstresses would not know what to do, no idea...without the seamstresses Chanel would not exist....
@zimalien Thats correct. He is the designer, the one with the vision. Without Karl Lagerfeld there would be no modern Chanel. Coco did the same thing. A designers job is to design not sew.
@zimalien but you also have to realize for them, its not hard work. they have been doing this for decades. it would be harder for them to sit at a round table and mentally create a trend than to physically create trendy garments.
wow this is amazing i give my respects to the people who make them they put a lot of effort to it
some people may think of haute couture clothing as just simple clothes but they are not they have been done with hard work by the desgner and the atelier and everybody in their crew :)
Wow, that must have taken a long time. Really interesting, it would have been nice to have some kind of auditory narration explaining what they are doing though.
quick question. does anybody know what type of tool they use to embroider the clothing in 3:31? it reminds me of some type of crochet hook, but i'm not sure..
I cannot help but holding my breath watching these incredible artists doing the incredible beading work... This must be a dying art which should be preserved.
@catonic it's a process that's needed to archive perfection and yes they get paid a shit loads for making these masterpieces!

@zimalien 'yeah, why? Because the designs aren't by the women in this video! Whats wrong with people.

@zimalien Thats correct. He is the designer, the one with the vision. Without Karl Lagerfeld there would be no modern Chanel. Coco did the same thing. A designers job is to design not sew.

@zimalien believe me, they love doing this. This is their dream.

@zimalien but you also have to realize for them, its not hard work. they have been doing this for decades. it would be harder for them to sit at a round table and mentally create a trend than to physically create trendy garments.

@ataoldotcom wow ok you should see signe chanel or other chanel documentaries
the ladies behind chanel still have to work very hard, even after all these years
and it's mentally hard for them as well; you have to have loaaads and loads of patience

Wow, that must have taken a long time. Really interesting, it would have been nice to have some kind of auditory narration explaining what they are doing though.

quick question. does anybody know what type of tool they use to embroider the clothing in 3:31? it reminds me of some type of crochet hook, but i'm not sure..

its called a tambour needle. google it and u could find a cheap one for like 20 bucks. using it is fairly easy once you get used to it

I cannot help but holding my breath watching these incredible artists doing the incredible beading work... This must be a dying art which should be preserved.

Too bad there's no narration! I'm curious to know if these craftswomen make most/any of their own clothes or clothes for their family members.
