The House of Chanel
premiere

Follow the evolution of the Winter 2004/2005 Chanel Haute Couture collection, from the first sketches by 'artistic director' Karl Lagerfeld to the climactic catwalk show.

This behind-the-scenes documentary peeks through the keyholes into the workrooms inhabited by the talented staff that toil away high above Chanel's original home at 31 rue Cambon.

A tribute to an almost lost form of manufacturing, this film highlights those who make the magic come alive, including 75-year-old Madame Pouzieux who handcrafts unique braids on an antique loom in her farmhouse. Australian premiere.
