Making Designer Trims
By the end of the 1950s Coco Chanel had found her niche with the classic cardigan jacket. She introduced her iconic braided trim in 1956 and popularized the trimmed jacket by giving it a new look each year. In this series Claire Shaeffer showcases traditional Chanel trims as well as trims that were inspired by Chanel. In the second class in this series Claire teaches construction methods to create and apply these trims.
