What makes Chanel so special? Part 2_Tweed Ensemble making

Inside of Chanel 

Tweed ensemble making

 A toile and a pattern for a tweed jacket from the same collection.

The pattern is carefully applied to the dummy.

Every single measurement needs to be 100 per cent accurate.

The tweed fabric, infused with glittering beadwork, is laid out and cut with military precision.

The lining and hems are undertaken by the seamstresses in the atelier.

Nearing completion, the piece sits on the mannequin.

The designs start to take shape in the busy atelier.

 A model tries on the tweed skirt-suit for size, while a seamstress checks for any outstanding tweaks.

Finally, the tweed ensemble is ready for the catwalk.
