Haute Ateliers

An interesting article from The Wall Street Journal about Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel’s haute ateliers.* I’m definitely not the Chanel type, but I admire the exquisite detail. Do y’all follow high‑end designers? If so, you might also like the movie Valentino The Last Emperor. In fact, I’m wondering if one of the Chanel ateliers is the same one that Valentino used for his white dress!
