An illustrated journal describing my time studying Haute Couture embroidery at École Lesage in Paris, France! This was truly a dream come true for me and my embroidered adventures continued when I began my career as a Haute Couture, working for Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Valentino, Givenchy and lots more!
In very exciting news, these tales will be published in the coming months and available for everyone to purchase as an inspiration and candid description of the sparkling joys and knotty challenges I encountered along the way!
