Behind the scenes at every great couture house is a skilled team of artisans who turn fashion dreams into reality. This illustrated book provides a tour of couture's backstage, inhabited by exceptional designers but also by lace makers, weavers, textile designers, pleaters, jewellers, fan makers, leather makers, embroiderers, passementerie makers, feather workers, and many other specialised craftspeople. Close-up photographs of the ateliers and fashion shows allow readers to follow the progress of work from sketchbook designs to the finished creations on the runway.
