HIGH COUTURE

An incredible journey to the heart of the golden age of French fashion, with a preface by Inès de la Fressange.
Coco Chanel, Hanae Mori, Karl Lagerfeld, Monsieur de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Galliano... Colette Maciet was quite simply the indispensable seamstress of the greatest designers. Petite main at fourteen, Première d'atelier at thirty, her life embraced all the twists and turns and successes of French Haute Couture. Genius and flaws, pomp and decadence, she knows its smallest secrets.
Through talent and hard work, but also because she dared to dream, Madame Colette carved out an extraordinary destiny for herself. Her story is a journey to the heart of the golden age of French fashion in full mutation. It is also that of the incredible metamorphosis of an entire society.
