The first 500 people to use my link in the description or scan the QR code will receive a one month free trial of Skillshare! https://skl.sh/jelenacoutureatelier04261 Every beaded Dior gown you've ever seen — from the legendary Junon dress of 1949 to Jonathan Anderson's debut couture in 2026 — was built with two tools working together. One you know. The other, almost nobody does. In this video I take you behind the doors of one of the most secretive fashion houses in the world. We trace 77 years of Dior's most spectacular embroidered creations, uncover the craft secrets the ateliers have guarded for generations, and I show you the tool that works alongside the needle — the one that makes the scale and speed of haute couture embroidery possible. What you'll discover: — The 1949 gowns considered the greatest masterpieces of haute couture embroidery — How Dior's ateliers work almost blind — and why that matters — The embroidery archives with over 75,000 samples — How a single heavily embroidered Dior gown can take 950 hours to make — How this technique traveled from India and Persia to the ateliers of Paris 🔔 Subscribe for haute couture secrets every week
