Haute Couture: Life Among the Legends of High Fashion

She never stood at the center of the catwalk. Her name never made headlines. But without her, great collections would forever remain just beautiful sketches.
Colette Massieu was the senior cutter, the right-hand woman, and the primary embodiment of the ideas of haute couture geniuses. It was people like her who transformed the sketches of Chanel, Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Saint Laurent, and Gaultier into clothes worn by the world.
Designers came and went. Era followed era. But Colette remained. She was trusted with the most precious thing—the realization of their vision. Her eyes saw masterpieces, and her hands created them, breathing life into them.
"Haute Couture" is a remarkable journey into the golden age of French fashion. The memoirs of someone who was closest to the most famous designers and fashion houses for several decades. A living history, full of respect, quiet admiration, and a touch of melancholy for a bygone era, when fashion was an art, not a race.
For those interested in the real people behind the great collections and the invaluable role of those behind the scenes.
