The Best Kept Secret In Haute Couture: Maison Legeron!
Not so many of you know the name of Est Legeron - unique Couture Atelier located in the heart of Paris I had a privilege to work with on several occasions. So, let me introduce to you - Maison Legeron, who has been supplying the world of Haute Couture with handcrafted silk flowers for decades. Having crafted creations for Haute Couture clients such as Dior, Courreges, Ungaro, Legeron creates divine handmade flowers in feathers and silk to decorate any imaginable outfit or any accessory.
Maison Legeron was found in 1880 during a period when fashion commonly called for silk flowers. Towards the end of Second World War there were hundreds of independent flower-makers in Paris...
Today Legeron stands as the last of its kind. Still, a family run Atelier, Maison Legeron is managed today by the founder's great grandson and creations of the Divine Atelier continue to be handcrafted using traditional methods.
Legeron's brilliant masterpieces graced not only designs of Haute Couture Houses, but also costumes of " Marie Antoinette"...
The meticulous process of creating the flower shape is extremely time-consuming as the petals are colored, shaped and assembled one by one with an extreme attention to every little detail.
The beauty and impeccable craftsmanship of each flower made by Legeron is beyond spectacular!Each one of them is a unique example of the exquisite pieces that Maison Legeron creates.
In an industry that is severely in the decline as craftspeople are not replaced by new talent, it is important to promote the work of these skilled artists.
Legeron continues to master the traditional techniques that the house was found on. However, that is the skills that are in danger of disappearing. Fortunately, as the demands for handcrafted luxury continues to grow, it is these little gems of Haute Couture that are sure to be blooming out of Paris for many decades to come.
