Haute Couture is not part of my reality, but I enjoy the shows nonetheless. Chanel in particular never disappoints presenting over the top memorable shows season after season. I recently watched the Chanel Haute Couture documentary on Netflix’s 7 Days Out for a behind the scenes look at everything that goes into pulling off one of the most highly anticipated couture shows. The episode documents the final preparations for the SS18 Chanel Haute Couture show through the various teams and enormous amount of prep required to translate Karl Lagerfeld’s vision into reality. I was mesmerized.

All of the segments in that series are entertaining and enlightening. However, like you, I was blown away by the Chanel segment. Such grace under tremendous pressure by those who work in the ateliers. And the genius of Lagerfield—he wakes up in the morning with an idea for a design and sketches it immediately! Similar to Paul McCartney’s story of how he composed the melody of “Yesterday”! True genius!!
