Through never-before-seen imagery, this screening lecture reveals the history of the Ville de Paris vocational schools, where young girls learned sewing and embroidery. A visual journey into the heart of skills combining technique, creativity, and emancipation.
These heritage documents, drawn from the rich collection of the Ville de Paris film library, offer a vivid and insightful look at fashions, techniques, and garment-making education in the early 20th century, and highlight the central role of sewing in the construction of cultural and feminine identities. In partnership with the Cinémathèque Robert Lynen
