- The legendary fashion house that is Christian Dior let me go behind-the-scenes ahead of their Spring 20 Haute Couture show in Paris this week.
In this first part I was given exclusive access to the atelier the day before the show, where I met some of the people that make the magic happen. Not all heroes wear capes, but in this instance if they did, they would be couture ones.

Alexa: I don't think I can touch it...
Guy behind her: 👀👀👀👀👀
I thought i was the only one that noticed 😂 that stare thouugh
Yes! HAHAHAHA! I was about to leave a comment about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg :)))
He gave her the “touch and I’ll cut you” stare 🤭
Also, Ms. 18.56-19.00! 😂
Hahaha I love how Dior just let her loose in the atelier, without even a translator 😂😂 she recruited one for herself halfway through
She was lucky enough to be there. She can learn French if she looooooves French fashion that much.
Not really, she was with Loïc Prigent who is a wonderful documentary maker who does a lot in the fashion world and is hilarious.
ptardieubaker he didn't seem to have been hired to be translator though, just ended up falling into it haha. He seemed timid at some points, which is understandable. Not all bilingual people are comfortable translating
@@randomnessnessnes As both a bilingual person and a translator I totally agree with you, being bilingual is not the same as being a translator but Loïc Prigent does actually make videos in English. My reading of this is different from yours, I think he's letting her take centre stage and being discreet🙂
A translator ? I thought she spoke French ... Oh thats why she did not speak french in the video.
These people are artists of the highest degree
Literally.
The real stars
They really are. This video actually made me cry because I was so touched.
Absolutely
"i feel like you speak english" me awkwardly approaching random strangers the first day of college
Me the next winter semester while on Erasmus 😂
Thanks for bringing your wit and charm to the Dior Ateliers, Alexa, we loved having you! We hope you enjoyed learning all about the #DiorCouture savoir-faire from our petites mains.
thanks for having her!
We love to see Loïc also!
Christian Dior ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Christian Dior j’adore le color misty pistachio
I have been sewing for years with some formal training in highschool (I teach kids how to sew now). I am skilled at pattern drafting and dress making. Can I be a petite mains for you?! Please, it is my dream!
I am glad Alexa got to be the one to do this tour because I believe she is actually the only one who could pull this off the way she did; super confident, super respectful and super appreciative of the workers at Dior. I choose to stan this woman forever. Congrats on the AMAZING content you bring to this channel, I'm always amazed ♥️
Lillian Lins I agree, she isn’t a showy person so she really let them and their work shine.
I mean she’s incredibly charismatic, the workers warmed up to her immediately but she wasn’t trying to make it about her. She knew it was a great honour to be there. Loved it!
Nice comment - spot on xx
You should look up Loic Prigent. He’s a very famous influencer who is always behind the scenes of all these fashion brands.
I love the authentic awkwardness. It’s quite refreshing compared to the other competent, scripted, and stale fashion videos.
Everytime I watch a fashion doc and they go behind the scenes to the ateliers, I notice that the staff seem very close - like a family and appear to genuinely enjoy their work - even during deadline period. It really goes to show how wonderful the work environment must be for them, even under the stress of having only a day to construct entire collections. These people really deserve their props. They're incredibly talented, hard working and are the wheels that keep the fashion vehicle turning. This was such a really entertaining, enlightening and heartfelt video. I loved seeing how Alexa was able to communicate with these great people on such a personal level and make them laugh.
It's so cute to witness, I wish all clothing could be produced like that. So much talent and support in one studio.
You can tell they adore what they do and if they each do well then they all do well so the support is not only nice but crucial
As someone who has worked in fashion/couture in Paris for 40 years I can tell you that you spend a LOT more time with collègues in the workroom than with you family ! During collections it's a seven day week and often 12 to 14 hour days ! One collection I worked on I spent 27 hours straight on the collection on the last day and was too exhausted to go to the show ( Louis Vuitton)
@@TheFiown you are a legend. I have so much respect for you and others in your craft.
@@TheFiown I could only dream of doing this, I feel like I would love it. how did you get your start?
These talented people deserve more recognition!
They got a lot in Dior and I
I mean.... That why paying those prices for those clothes make sense. To pay those people.
A few years ago, the museum of decorative arts in Paris held a retrospective of Dior’s work and there was an entire section dedicated to the atelier space. It was beautiful.
they work in Dior, what more recognition than that??
I am screamiiiiiing 1:50 the way this guy was ready to check her! he was like you better not try me today honey
As a French person, this was both so interesting and adorable (seeing their passion, how much they still love their jobs, as well as Alexa’s French of course!)
This certainly makes me understand the cost of couture. Nice.
I love watching documentaries like this. Puts fast fashion to shame. Alexa is so kind.
I'm not blind neither short sighted but I watched this whole video with my eyes glued to the screen, literally. The work that is behind haute couture never ceases to amaze me
Daniela Cruces Pérez me too!!!!
Ahhh love how everyone seemed to LOVE their jobs, even with those crazy deadlines. Loved seeing the BTS, because we forget who actually makes those masterpieces!
8:45 I think you might have just discovered by “accident” a fashion star in the English presentation of the highest level and the most inner working aspect of French haute couture fashion and so on... PLEASE !!! We ALL can learn so much more interesting and fascinating stuff from him !!! Thank you.
At 1:48 when she says, “I don’t think I can touch it”, and that dude looks back at her to make SURE she isn’t 🤣😂
"Flamingo Money" Oh Alexa, you are tres fantastique!!
The whole color names situations had me dying lol.
these people are the real artists, and i’m so thankful for alexa showing us the amount of work that’s being put in haute couture. thank u alexa and the dior team 🤍🤍🤍
I've been sewing every minute I can in this Covid time and as I sit here 2 hours and have only made 4 flowers I got teary watching this fascinating Alexa interact with these amazing creators. I just don't have words.
Loic gives Alexa more confidence and loosens up her English uprightness. The people at Dior are France’s national treasure. Wonderful to see!
“Misty Pistachio, my stripper name”
LOL
This bit made me giggle a lot!
I have such respect for ppl like this. I couldn’t help but smile throughout the video. I just wished I could have seen just a sampling of the hand sewing. Thank you so much for sharing this and highlighting the true hero’s and heroines of all fashion weeks!
This was delightful from beginning to end. All of the people were beautifully kind and talented. I love how Alexa navigated through the Atelier with respect and humor. Loved watching this!
Doutzen Kroes was also invited to the atelier, but I love how this interview felt much more in depth and real (and of course funny but that's a given at her videos) because Alexa really tried to connect with the different tailors! Great content, thank you!
Jamal seemed so lovely! So willing to explain everything and very genuine, what a wonderful mentor. These people are so skilled and talented!
i'd give anything to have an internship in that atelier. literally anything! i never had a chance to go to a prestigious fashion school but my work is really great, and i feel like working in an environnement with such high standarts when it comes to perfection is the push i need to start a real carrer in fashion , i even learned to speack perfect french just for the day my opportunity comes, i applied online on numerous occasions,but i guess it wasn't meant to be.yet.
Cranberrylips Don’t give up ! Your chance will come.
TheFashionRealm I hope so ! Thank you for your kind words 😊
@@nutella9446 move to france; put yourself out there
Wonderful, and ain’t no fast fashion happening here, lovely that they made the time to allow viewers to enjoy their beautiful craftsmanship, thank you
What a nice bunch of people
Will’s MM2 UNWILD Vlogs Minecraft Channel they seemed quite stand-offish like she was bothering them in my opinion
Kirch, they’re all nice people but you could imagine how one mistake and also deadlines would make people come across stressed.
Really makes you appreciate all the work that goes into a fashion show.
Alexa, only could have arranged to get such access. That was illuminating. The path to perfecting their craft is as long as it takes to be a medical specialist!! They are true artisans. So lovely to hear the same sentiment being expressed - we love it, it's our life and we've been here for ages!! The more experienced ones mentoring those up and coming. All the hand sewing, dedication and pride in their work. Such an inspiring video. You are the best.
Love how Alexa is so respectful with this artists, so humble, intelligent and funny, I love her ❤️
Stepping out of the Atelier onto the streets, where the common folk live, must be jarring. It’s such a refined, beautiful, luxurious, clean, serene space. No gadgets, no loud noises, no sudden movements. Perfection. Thanks for the peek. 😊
I love Alexa’s videos because she’s always going into the details and focusing on the people 👏
The french guy behind the camera is Loic Prigent?? his voice sounds like him. He says he's a journalist of couture.
Yes it's him, he's on the title at the beginning! 1:18
Yes that's him :)
andreea valdrost yes it’s Sir #loicprigent
andreea valdrost, you must visit his CZcams channel and see all his fantastic fashion films. No one does what he does...He manages to combine wit and humor with respectfulness and dignity. ❤️
AMAZING INTERVIEW ALEXA!! finally someone talked with les petites mains!! they are all legends
“It’s better, it’s more beautiful” literally what I live by and I can’t seem to change.
Loïc Prigent 💗 il est partout et on adore !
Thank-You for giving the seamstress the credit they richly deserve. Where would any collection be without them ?
I felt like I was watching Santa’s meticulous, stylish elves in a toy workshop
Omg how exciting must be meeting the people in charge of those beautiful dresses!!
This AND Doutzen's behind-the-scenes? Today's been amazing.
excited for part 2! ♥️
I'm a Loic Prigent STAN!!!!!!
This was freaking amazing
That was such a fascinating tour! Thank you! I look forward to seeing the pieces in their completed states in Part deux!
Uploaded 8 mins ago and already liked the video cause Alexa 🙃
But also, it’s so cool that Alexa always shows us what’s behind the scenes - whether it’s with her own office or at a couture atelier. So often we overlook those who put in the most labor into making the magic happen. Shout out to your video editing team as well - know we all appreciate you for bringing us these videos 💕
