For example, Christian Dior, in Paris, a depressed and lacking in resources after the Second World War, became an arbiter of elegance with their narrow waists and long skirts and so rich in material that could barely lift. In full economic hurricane, John Galliano, in keeping with the spirit of the teacher in 1947 - wanted to go to the very soul of the House. Its collection shows, and defended with conviction, why Costura slashing excellence daydream and makes its viewers. It took more than eighty seamstresses and between 300 and 400 hours of work, to make the last six encorsetados gala dressed in crinoline. Then each piece was sent to the studios of artisans in Paris to post their embroidered and sewn.

For its part, with a strong collection for Chanel, Lagerfeld Kar wanted to get the most out of his office and for this role, did not need more than a clean paper to rewrite history. "It is my favorite material, where it all begins. I can not remember a time in my life that was not doing a sketch. I need physical contact with the paper, is my real way to express myself, "he said between racks. Had to be close to appreciate the 800 hours used in the shop for a dress Lesage strip percalina white embroidered with pearls and sequins, topped by tiny botanical elements previously cut by hand, the 700 working for a fully embroidered dress with small mirror sequins and a white ribbon trim, or 400 for a sequined shirt with large plastic rings and patent leather. The workshop offered its maximum Chanel, seamstresses and wept with emotion with each output.
