And as in the couture house ateliers, seamstresses cut and sew stiff linen mock-ups, called toiles, to perfect the design before cutting it in the final fabric, and produce embellishments, like handmade silk blossoms and gold braiding.

Later, we walk through the atelier tailleur, where technicians are busy pinning mannequins with toiles: trials of garments, executed in inexpensive calico to illustrate volumes and to allow a designer some experimentation before cutting into the final fabrics.

And it ended with skinny black pants under a jacket lavishly draped in what turned out to be toiles reimagined as oily beetled linen (beetling being a once-common process in which fabric is painted with potato starch and then pounded by large wooden blocks).

The show room was lined with dressmakers' busts displaying the white toiles that were the base of the collection, and on each seat was a booklet created by the house with meditations on the production of couture (also its meaning, in an unnecessarily pretentious Lacan/Duchamp-quoting way).

But for those who are well-versed in the true nature of the craft — its very definition of clothes that are made to fit a client — then Chiuri's most recent lineup, set in a room of walls lined with toiles (3-D blueprints of what couture is made out of), was a quiet success.

In Australian and British terminology, a "toile" is a version of a garment made by a fashion designer or dressmaker to test a pattern. They are usually made in cheap material, as multiple toiles may be made in the process of perfecting a design. Toiles are sometimes referred to as "muslins" in the United States, named for the cheap, unbleached cotton fabric available in different weights.

Toile can also be used on teapots, beddings, clothing, etc. In upper-class (primarily American, but also northern European) society, toile is often seen on dresses or aprons used at such events as country-themed garden parties or tea parties.

The memorial takes the form of a menhir with a relief carving of the head of a helmeted soldier cut into the granite. In front of the menhir, Le Goff places the sculpture of a mother with her child, the woman appearing to be telling the boy who the soldier was.

In the French language, the phrase literally means "cloth from Jouy-en-Josas", a town in the south- west suburbs of Paris. Although it has been continuously produced since then, it experienced a marked upsurge in popularity around the year 2000. Previously only a decorating design, designers have been recently experimenting with toile-patterned apparel as well, although toile-patterned shirts were widely worn in the 1970s. Toiles were very popular during the Colonial Era in the United States and are highly associated with preservationist towns and historical areas such as Colonial Williamsburg.

Latour would then show printed tapestries under the brand Edition des "Toiles de Fontenay" at the 1950 Salon d'Automne.

Vincent van Gogh, The Yellow House, 1888, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (F464) Décoration for the Yellow House was the main project Vincent van Gogh focused on in Arles, from August 1888 until his breakdown the day before Christmas. This Décoration had no pre-defined form or size; the central idea of the Décoration grew step by step, with the progress of his work. Starting with the Sunflowers, portraits were included in the next step. Finally, mid-September 1888, the idea took shape: from this time on he concentrated on size 30 canvases (Toiles de 30), which were all meant to form part of this Décoration.

Louis Rollet (6e arrondissement, Paris, 3 May 1895 - Saché, 1988) was a French painter of the school of "peintres voyageurs" of the early 20th Century. He made many journeys in Asia and Africa and was particularly influential on local artists during his stay in Madagascar,Les Africanistes: peintres voyageurs, 1860-1960 - Page 292 Lynne Thornton - 1990 "Le souvenir de Louis Rollet, lauréat en 1929, est au contraire resté très vif à Madagascar. Non content de former de nombreux peintres malgaches, il influencerait profondément leur travail par la palette riche et chaleureuse de ses toiles et la ..." more so than his compatriot Maurice Le Scouézec (1881-1940).L'Encyclopédie coloniale et maritime: Madagascar.

He sought to greater effect societal reforms through new writings, particularly on freedom of commerce, in which one paper stressed the importance of the textile industry (Réflexions sur les avantages de la libre fabrication et de l'usage des toiles peintes). He never abandoned the spirit of the Encyclopédie though; in the spring of 1760, Morellet wrote in defense of the Encyclopédistes who were attacked by the Le Franc de Pompignan and Charles Palissot, publishing Les Si, Les Pourquoi, La Prière universelle and the Préface de la comédie des Philosophes (the last procured Morellet a short stay in the Bastille for an alleged libel on the patroness of Palissot's. Not all of Morellet's writings were well received.

The Golden Gate studio was noted to be a "cavernnous basement" setting that was devoid of most of the traditional facilities of modern recording studios. White recalled the set-up as being unothodox and challenging: "I remember I walked in the space and the live room was nothing more than just a concrete basement of this office building. There was something about this room that wasn’t a tuned recording studio live room." At one stage, when the band found the outside noise and flushing toiles from the above levels of the building too intrusive, they rigged a vocal booth out of Marshall Amp stacks that were lying around the studio, belonging to Boehm – an excessive gear collector.

For women, this will usually be a jewel-neck bodice and narrow skirt, and for men an upper sloper and a pants sloper. The final sloper pattern is usually made of cardboard or paperboard, without seam allowances or style details (thicker paper or cardboard allows repeated tracing and pattern development from the original sloper). Once the shape of the sloper has been refined by making a series of mock-up garments called toiles (UK) or muslins (US), the final sloper can be used in turn to create patterns for many styles of garments with varying necklines, sleeves, dart placements, and so on. The flat pattern drafting method is the most commonly used method in menswear; menswear rarely involves draping.

From 1981 to 1986, Philippe Robert worked between Europe and The United States on a French television show dedicated to the cinema – Etoiles et Toiles, produced by Frédéric Mitterrand (the future French Minister of Culture and Communication). During this early stage of his career, he met French TV figures (Maurice Dugowson, Raoul Sangla, Jean-Pierre Spiero) but also American movie makers who would have an important influence on his photographic style (Samuel Fuller, Sam Peckinpah, David Lynch, Ridley Scott ...).Catherine Schwaab (photogr. Philippe Robert, Carla Bruni), " Philippe Robert, l'homme qui flashe sur les plus belles femmes du monde", Le Nouveau Quotidien, October 5, 1991 At that time he also started to make his first pictures shooting people that he met.
