The man who turned Madonna into a Goth

Haute couture embroiderer Francois Lesage admits that he has no talent for sewing, but instead designs two collections a year, made up of between 100 and 200 samples. He has worked with all the leading fashion designers, and has gained great respect for his creativity. His company has experienced some financial difficulties over recent years, however, and now only employs 55 people, from 100 in 1989. He is keen to perpetuate the art of embroidery, and has now opened his own school.
