Aussie pop sensation Kylie Minogue.

Chanel, Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton: the top names in world fashion go to Millau for their gloves, tapping into a manufacturing tradition that stretches back to the 12th century and peaked a hundred years ago. Worn long for elegance, fingerless by sportswomen, made of lambskin for suppleness, python or iguana for an exotic touch, in scented leather or covered in cockerel feathers for collectors, gloves have been making a comeback on the catwalks. "Our philosophy is to create gloves that are worn like jewellery," said Manuel Rubio, general manager of glove-maker Causse, acquired last September by Chanel as part of a strategy of buying up high craft sup...
