Maison Lafont has teamed with Sekimoto to mark the occasion by creating a unique frame. Satoshi Sekimoto, Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Haute-Couture embroidery, and Thomas LAFONT, combined their passion and together created an exquisite, embroidered frame, Ouvrage. Based on an Haute Couture concept developed by Thomas Lafont, Satoshi Sekimoto has crafted onto these original medium embroidering pearls and embellishments ornamenting the frame like a dress.
