European Journal | France - The Last Embroiderer
Loading...
Uploaded by deutschewelleenglish on Jul 30, 2009
He refers to Christian Lacroix as his godchild...Lagerfeld is Karl to him. François Lesage is something of a granddaddy in the world of Parisian Haut Couture. The 80 year old is responsible for the embroidery of the big fashion designers,a position he has held for 60 years. His ideas are transferred to cloth by some 50 embroiderers who work for him in a small studio in Paris Montmartre. Seven years ago he sold his company to Chanel. But he works independently for all the big names in Paris. Lesage is one of the last in his trade,and he is convinced that if the last big suppliers go bust,Parisian Haut Couture will also die.

@marky8418 i've read his son runs an embroidery house in India under Francois Lesage. They business does more home furnishing that haute couture. I pretty sure what the Senior Francois does it could be replace. I bet he has Paris Haute COuture Broderie down to a science. No?
