The Métier D'Arts collections were established in 2002 following Chanel's acquisition of the seven specialist Parisian ateliers that have collaborated with the house for decades: the metal-crafts house of Desrues; the feather-maker, Lemarié; the embroiderer, Lesage; the shoemaker, Massaro; the milliner, Michel; the goldsmith, Goossens; and the flower-maker, Guillet. Each year, Lagerfeld has created a Métier D’Arts collection, to showcase their works together with his own Chanel designs.
