From Maison Chanel on rue Cambon to the studio of Jean Paul Gaultier on rue Saint-Martin, the history of fashion is often closely tied to that of a Parisian address. Inside Haute Couture offers a private tour of ten luxury fashion houses, including Chanel, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexis Mabille, Ralph & Russo, Stéphane Rolland, Elie Saab, Yves Saint Laurent, Franck Sorbier, and Alexandre Vauthier. This richly illustrated behind-the-scenes tour of haute couture fashion showcases the clothes; the embroiders, bead- and feather- workers, and other artisans and their incredibly skilled work; and the spectacular fitting rooms, reception halls, and studios that the industry's most skilled designers inhabit, making it an unprecedented journey into a world often closed to the public, against a backdrop of exceptional architectural heritage.
