Training objective :
In 1924, Albert and Marie-Louise Lesage took over the Michonet embroidery workshop. Founded in 1858, the workshop supplied the first great names in the history of Haute Couture: Charles Frédérik Worth, Paquin and Madeleine Vionnet. Inspired by our extensive archives from the Michonet period, this first level of the “History of Fashion” curriculum requires 30 classroom hours.
