To everyone losing their mind over this picture of the Dior artisans making Natalie Portmanβs golden globes dress:
This is basically a visual representation of what couture means. Every one of those heavily detailed/embroidered/beaded couture gowns you see during haute couture fashion week is made this way. In order to be considered couture they have to be, but thatβs a separate post.
I feel like the work is more visible here because of the effect of the pattern, but pretty much every couture gown is made with this absolutely insane level of work and detail
Also, Dior did tag the textile house they worked with: Chanakya International and Chanakya School of Craft. Theyβve done the textile work for several Dior collections as well as Armani
