when he created in 1961 with pierre bergé

his own fashion house

very quickly he overturns the codes of

fashion and those of society

he empowered women in

across from a wardrobe which is a

male wardrobe defector

then you have the pantsuit

of course the tuxedo of course but

also the Saharan the jam suite the

pea coat

he took almost all the elements

from the men's locker room and he gave

women the power to wear them he has

put the pants in

offices finally

when in the 70s the wealthy

high-rise homes

couture for luxury ready-to-wear

crafts and the transmission of

their know-how are then in danger

until saint laurent island in

1976 revives the luxury industries by

general ie all trades

of art and haute couture in particular

with a collection called opera

opulent Russian ballet

extraordinary that employ fabrics

brocade of gold silk fabrics

again in profusion of the furs of

embroidery and suddenly reviving it

interest in this profession

shows that she can be cutting edge

that it shows that she can be at the

point

of desire and that it can revive the

desire of women

therefore yves saint-laurent surrounds himself

of the greatest artisans of Parisian art

and before leaving the world of high

couture in 2002 created with them pieces

extraordinary

this is the lyon coat which is a

winter coat 90 feathers

vulture feather pheasant

Yves Saint Laurent's request addressed

to the groom was I would like a coat

of feathers that looks like a lion

3000 more dyed and cozy one by one at a time

hand on a very light organ one piece

exceptional is exceptional because

what she is she is spectacular and that

shows that we love a lot which is very

very fragile therefore not very exposed

beasts love epim

so this is something we watch

especially we have in our reserves

the feathers are in one place

particular that we monitor up to

other things

this coat was made by the house

the largest featherweight wedding

world

essential for haute couture

since the 19th century the house has

backstage

so here we are going to enter the reserve of

more than you want to enter then

there you see all the feathers are

listed all arranged in

identified boxes and there for example we

put all the feathers aside

we come from stamps and that we

let's use for the model of the

haute couture

a chanel tailor of the new

fall winter collection that home

the bride is making a year

they are in a bag of shades of

colors which are represented see

they are therefore

you all have all the colors

used in the on the model then in

more or less quantity depending on the

dosage that we want to give and there in

made they are natural so in fact

it's more ill-gotten that have been

extinct and use these two laws

the fin finger an elegant feather and

flexible which is on the sides of

the animal

c or more who held up well who is

which lent itself well to this flower we

was not going to use the ostrich

see to make a flat feather

like that the ostrich feathers the house

rather destines them to one of the rooms

emblematic of the next collection

haute couture chanel wedding dress

work on a large pass where we come from

actually mix brown ostrich

burnt ostrich and rooster whips

break the whole brown and this is the

brown which has been worked in fact I we

also show the powder easter whisk

and therefore in the same tones and that was

very airy and very attractive

strewn in the strands of ostrich goes

give a little extra in the

model here of course we have

the more we regret that we cannot

use the greeks

the bird of paradise which are feathers

all simply magnificent

the great we can't find it anymore that's

a very precious stock that we have

because it is a completely animal

protected we can't buy it we don't

can't sell but good when you

have you see this simply beautiful

we also have the birds of paradise

concerns in a very very old

box but when you see the gradient

of colors and the lightness of its feathers

with brown cbs this yellow so much

delicate is very pale i don't think

even with the best dyers we

could come up with this subtlety of

your it's part of the heritage of the

homemade and we keep them

and we take great care of her a

valuable stock acquired before measurements

taken to save these birds

upstairs in the workshops

the feather work for all

high fashion houses that claim
