A mains levées | Anne de Vandière | Chanel Nexus Hall 2022

"19M” complex, a site envisioned to play key role in upholding and further evolving the métiers d’art legacy, opened its doors from 2021 in a Paris suburb. Over the decades, CHANEL has diligently worked to forge creative ties with its precious artisans. Throughout this process, however, there has been limited public disclosure of the brand’s brilliant technologies so integral in supporting the fashion world to date. 

Taking that to heart, on this occasion Anne paid a special visit to the 19M site to view workshops and better prepare for her scheduled exhibition at CHANEL NEXUS HALL. There, she thoroughly examined Lesage and Montex (embroidery), Lemarie (feather and flower crafting), Michel (hats), Lognon (pleats), Massaro (footwear) Goossens (goldwork) and other workshops devoted to their own distinctive creations. During the same trip, she also photographed workshops with bases other than 19M – among them Causse (gloves) and Desrues (costume jewelry)." - From exibition website
