This exquisitely illustrated book provides a privileged tour of couture's backstage, inhabited, to be sure, by exceptional designers but also by lace makers, weavers, textile designers, pleaters, jewelers, fan makers, leather makers, embroiderers, passementerie makers, feather workers, and many other specialized craftspeople. With painstaking attention to detail and exceptional workmanship, they can create everything a designer can imagine. Remarkably, this is an unchanged world of small, family-owned workshops, and the trades these artisans practice are ancient; not only do they keep alive the techniques and expertise that might otherwise have disappeared forever but they also have evolved with the times. Weavers still use looms, but the ones found in contemporary ateliers are high-speed precision machines, guided by proprietary software. HeÌleÌne Farnault, France's leading authority on haute couture crafts, elucidates the rarefied hierarchies and mysteries of these extraordinary artisans. Close-up photographs of the ateliers and fashion shows, specially commissioned for this volume, allow readers to follow the progress of work from sketchbook designs to the finished creations on the runway." -- Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Fashion $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Fashion designers $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Artisans $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a Givenchy, Hubert de, $d 1927- 700 1 $a Lecomte, Alexis. 700 1 $a Dale, Lorna. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D455ACAC17411E49647BAD4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
