Signé Chanel : Documentary on Haute Couture F/W 04.05

I've always loved the part where the premiers are pretending that they don't eat sweets that often in the studio. "Ooh, they're from an old birthday celebration" and Loic calls them out.

And there's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where Karl has to wave down a car because he left his clutch in it.

One of my favourite part is when the premier start working with the panne velvet! (The backsound is so funny)

I forgot to post the scene where Karl forgets his bag!



The scenes of Virginie on the telephone trying to figure out where Karl was "hits differently," in retrospect.

Also, I loved the lore from the workrooms!!! I love the contrast between the workroom and the runway. It reminds me of the scenes in the YSL documentary Celebration where the seamstresses are discussing aliens or something crazy? 😂
