Lecture #4: Ornament and Opulence: It’s all in the Detail
Angela Lassig, Sat 27 Apr 10.30-11.30am
The strictly defined criteria for members of Paris’s elite Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture (founded 1911) dictates that couture must represent the highest level of creativity. The ornamentation that gives haute couture its opulence, so exceptionally expressed in Guo Pei’s designs, has been carried out by numerous specialist artisanal workshops since the early 20th century. This talk highlights a number of these Paris-based ‘Métiers d’Art’ (art professions) including embroidery workshop Lesage feather and flower maker Lemarie, Lognon, a pleating specialist and Montex masters of beadwork.
