my instructor was trained by Lucien Pierres, the head/overseer of Fath's workshops (in Paris i believe)
..like Chanel's Mme Martine
one evening she brought her embroideries and beadworks
it was interesting to see it with a likeness to the work here, especially this piece

i've never seen such unique embroidery, they really look like jewelry as themselves, just attached to garments.. so many materials. even the thread looks like jewelry
