How Did Chanel Build Tens Of Thousands Of Shoes?

　　 fashion The reason why it can be endless is always the protagonist of people's attention. The reason is that it keeps breaking the old and building new ones, and more importantly, it inherits the classics.

For France Latest fashion For example, several highly esteemed handicraft shops have to be mentioned. They are Desrues jewelry and jewelry workshop, Goossens gold and silver decoration workshop, Massaro shoe shoe workshop, Lemarie camellia and Ha Bono, Lesage. Embroidery Fang, Michel hat making shop and Guillet flower shop. These handicraft shops, which have great vitality, provide the most attractive elements for the most advanced clothing and accessories with unique traditions and superb skills.

A few days ago, three handicraft shops were recently moved to the CHANEL boutique of Hangzhou Tower. Reporters also came to the scene, through the handicraft inheritors of the scene interpretation, saw the accumulation of extreme luxury through time.

Reverse embroidery:

Notes above the longitude and latitude

The first reporter came to the Lesage embroidery workshop. In front of the embroidery workbench, apart from all kinds of silk thread, there are more strings of beads and sequins.

The biggest difference between traditional embroidery from Paris and Oriental embroidery is that it is "backward". When the embroidery artist turned the work in progress to one side, we could see that the original "negative" is the "positive" which is full of beads, bright face and even crystal. Throughout the process, the embroidery artist's right hand used Crochet on the cloth, and the string of beads on the left hand under the cloth. Between her hook and her, a bead was embroidered under the cloth.

Reporters were also invited to experience a Western embroidery. Although I thought I was good at sewing, I found that embroidery was totally different from what we thought before picking up the crochet. After prying N back on the cloth, he still failed to embroider a bead. In order to be ashamed of his own awkwardness, I must admire the skills of embroider.

Since 1858, Lesage embroidery workshop has created more than 60 thousand embroidery works. This huge collection of fashion embroidery is second to none in the world. It is said that this handicraft workshop creates more than 100 new embroidery works every year, which consumes up to 30 kilograms of pearls and hundreds of millions of beads. These works need at least one week from design to forming.

The finished embroidery work will often become the "embellishment" of an advanced garment. Of course, this "ornament" is not dispensable, but rather represents the soul of the whole garment. In the thread of a needle, the embroidery artist embellished the costumes and accessories with a smart and delicate hand. Lesage has also conquered many new generation of design masters, such as Christian Dior, such as Hubert de Givenchy.

Camellia:

The spirit that blooms in the world

The second stop is Lemarie camellia and feather house. Here is the interpretation of the classic elements of CHANEL - Camellia production process. On the table of the technician, there was an alcohol lamp on the table. On the side, there were several long rods with iron balls at the top. On the other side, a petal with cotton cloth was cut into petal shaped cloth. And at her nearest place, there was a cushion like a small pillow.

While heating the iron ball on the bar, the technician picks up a petal and puts it on the mat, then presses the petal edge with iron balls, and comes back several times later, and the originally flat "petal" becomes three-dimensional. It is said that here a camellia is composed of at least 16 pieces of petals. The mood of each technician will be reflected in his camellia flower, which is the biggest difference between handicrafts and industrial products.

When reporters came to work table, according to the technician's guidance, they picked up the iron ball mold on the alcohol lamp heating, only truly realized the difficulty of the work. First of all, it is difficult for iron balls to be heated up on fire, so they have to blindly listen to the instructions of the teacher. Then he held the hot iron ball to press the petals, and almost didn't scald his fingers. It seems that doing a small "petal" is also very meticulous work.

In fact, in 1880, at the beginning of the Lemarie handcraft workshop, its most famous names were the rare bird feathers produced here. Later, the workshop began to expand the field of flower decoration, and now the handicraft workshop has to complete 40 thousand flower ornaments every year. Because of its boundless creative vitality, Lemarie camellia and feather house won the trust of the most prestigious brands in the fashion industry: CHANEL's six annual series, as well as Dior, Givenchy, Hermes and so on.

Shoes:

Chanel's favorite

The Massaro shoe workshop, which was born in 1894, was also moved to the scene. The shoe maker is making a pair of CHANEL Byzantine women's shoes on the shoe last. Several pairs of classic shoes were displayed on his desk. Among them, we saw the famous two colored shoes. This pair of shoes made for Chanel lady, in that age of high heels, chose a height of 6 centimeters. The beige goat skin was used to make the body of the shoe seem to be an extension of the leg line, with black satin toe tips, so that the feet were more delicate. One of the anecdotes is that the busy Chanel lady wants to change her slippers in her spare time. This kind of shoes with a pair of elastic belts can satisfy her desire to wear slippers after she has turned them down. It is said that this is Chanel lady's favorite.

In addition to MS Chanel, many women representing their own age love this shoe factory's tailored creation for them. For example, Countess Bismarck, Ellizabeth Taylor, Barbara Hutton...

In the handicraft workshop in Paris, there are 12 talented shoemaking artists who have completed the work of finishing, cutting, sewing and shaping. A pair of women's shoes need at least 30 hours of detailed processing, while men's shoes take nearly 50 hours. Of course, they are also expensive, usually selling in the hundreds of euros to thousands of euros.
