The New Look

Immerse yourself in the enthralling world of The New Look, a historical drama that made its debut on Apple TV in February 2024. The narrative is set in the picturesque yet recovering landscape of post-World War II Paris and intricately weaves through the elite realm of haute couture fashion, focusing particularly on the ascent of the legendary style pioneer, Christian Dior.

Through the personal journeys and interactions of an ensemble cast, the series captures the intricate dynamics within the fashion universe and the broader societal impacts in the aftermath of the global conflict. Taking center stage is Christian Dior, embodied by Ben Mendelsohn, who is driven by a resolute ambition to rejuvenate the weary spirit of Paris couture with his groundbreaking designs.

In stark contrast stands the formidable Coco Chanel, brought to life by Juliette Binoche, who faces the challenge of asserting her significance amidst the industry’s evolution. The show delves deep into her internal battles and the echoes of her history, painting a vivid picture of her professional combat with Dior. Their fierce competition and intricate rapport provide a compelling exploration of their diametrically opposed design philosophies and their relentless pursuit for artistic supremacy.

The New Look doesn't stop there; it portrays a tapestry of individuals who have left their mark on the fashion world, including Pierre Balmain and Crist, further enriching the narrative tapestry that this miniseries skillfully unfolds.
