La Vie En Art 👗🎨🎹🎻🎭💃 - Travel through Time & Style at Musée Soieries Brochier (10 novembre)

If you think #Lyon is about everything but the #fashion, be prepared to change your mind after reading this post. For this month’s event, we delved into the fashion #history of Lyon by getting up close and personal with the prestigious #Brochierfamily known for #silk production at The Musée Soieries Brochier. 4 generations, 9 members of this Lyonnais family have supplied their #exquisitely #woven and #printed silk #fabrics to some of the greatest #couturiers/fashion #designers such as #Givenchy, #Valentino, #PaulPoiret, just to name a few over the past 130 years.

The fashion #sketch archives on display with the fabrics selected for each look summarized the key #trends of the #1950s. Flipping through them, I got completely immersed in the #classic #elegance and #retro #glam of the #goodolddays. Even more awe-inspiring were the featured #couture pieces impeccably #crafted from the most #delicate and #intricate fabrics. The #Chanel silk #velvetburnout #dress with #iconic #tweed trimmings was an exceptionally beautiful sight to behold. It took great #artisanship to work with such a #precious and #luxurious fabric. What was equally mesmerizing was the #sophisticated #drapes of the #goldlamé #Dior dress. Soieries Brochier fabrics have played an #inspiring role in the #creation of fashion #masterpieces.

With the #technological #innovations of the 21st century, the Brochier family has experimented with weaving silk threads with #opticalfibres to bring about the #LED #intelligentfabrics. #Art, #tech and #heritage all wrapped up in the #luminous #weddingdress at the end of the tour.
