Nelly Saunier,
Feather worker
Nelly Saunier, named Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite in 2025, is an exceptional feather artist with 40 years of passion and expertise. Her work, both meticulous and audacious, is part of a dialogue between technique and artistic creation, giving birth to unique pieces where each feather, each gesture, carries a profound meaning.
Early in her career, Nelly Saunier collaborated with many famous haute couture houses such as Chanel, Givenchy, Nina Ricci, Isabelle Marant, Louboutin and Jean-Paul Gaultier, creating spectacular one-off pieces for them. She has also worked with renowned designers, created costumes for the cinema, and more recently, exceptional and infinitely delicate pieces for haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie houses.
