Each item is simply paper and paint masterfully transformed to look like the most opulent textile and most delicate fabric.

Chanel Haute Couture

Haute couture is an amazingly painstaking art of creating a garment that has a story, a vision and an incredible amount of hours being crafted at the hands of skilled artisans. "The Making of a Couture Outfit" is an exclusive video showing the creation of a Chanel Haute Couture Fall Winter 2009/2010 jacket and dress.
From Karl Lagerfeld's sketch to the immensely talented women who sew each sequin by hand and the final product on the runway, this video gives a glimpse into the making of a five figure piece of fashion artistry.
