Chanel and the making of the Metiers d'Art 2014/2015 show

Oh my, I think I stopped breathing for 2 mins 51 secs...sublime is the only word that I can think of after watching this awe inspiring behind the scenes glimpse into the craftmanship and making of Chanels Métiers d'Art 2014/2015 show. I'm going to watch it again mouth closed this time.

It is just mind bending to imagine all of the incredible work that goes into making just one garment.  I am not one of the fortunate few who can afford this type of luxury garment but all I can say is thank God, for haute couture houses such as Chanel - without their employment of these metiers d'art, these important heritage skills would die out.

This only makes me want to take an embroidery course in Lesage - a girl can dream!
