Deft hands at work at Lesage on exquisite applique embroidery and beading for the Chanel Salzburg Metier d'Art collection for Fall 2015 - Photos courtesy of Chanel. I always look forward to the exquisite creations that are characteristic of Chanel Metier d'Art collections and they never fail to impress. The beautifully executed craftwork and expertise is showcased on clothing that will eventually be for sale in the Chanel boutiques where it can be admired close up. I look for home dressmaking ideas for my home sewing so I love to browse the racks even if I would not dream of buying them. The Salzburg Metier d'Art collection Fall 2015 is rich with ideas and craftwork of a level that is usually only seen in the Haute Couture line.
