This picture taken on November 24, 2016 shows a machinist preparing the leather for shoes for the "Defile Chanel Metiers d'Art 2016-2017" (Chanel Crafts Collection) displayed at the factory of the Massaro shoemaking company in Aubervilliers, near Paris. Before treading the carpets of the Ritz, or the Chanel fashion parades,these elegant shoes were formed on wooden lasts and steel forms by the expert hands of the craftsmen of Massaro, the bespoke shoemaker of choice for politicians and stars alike for more than a century. / AFP PHOTO / PATRICK KOVARIK
