Starring the Hollywood heavyweight Ben Mendelsohn as Christian Dior and actress Juliette Binoche as Coco Chanel, this is definitely a must-watch for the fashion heads around the globe.

Apple TV+ today unveiled the first images from “The New Look,” a new, 10-episode  gripping historical drama series from Todd A. Kessler, and led by an ensemble cast that  features Emmy Award winner Ben Mendelsohn as ‘Christian Dior’; Academy Award  winner Juliette Binoche as ‘Coco Chanel’; Maisie Williams as ‘Catherine Dior’; John  Malkovich as ‘Lucien Lelong’; Emily Mortimer as ‘Elsa Lombardi’ and Claes Bang as  ‘Spatz.’ Inspired by true events and filmed exclusively in Paris, “The New Look” centers  on fashion designers Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and their contemporaries as they  navigated the horrors of World War II and launched modern fashion. The highly  anticipated series will make its global debut with the first three episodes on Wednesday,  February 14, 2024 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode every Wednesday through  April 3.

Set against the World War II Nazi occupation of Paris, “The New Look” focuses on the  pivotal moment in the twentieth century when the French city led the world back to life  through its fashion icon Christian Dior. As Dior rises to prominence with his  groundbreaking, iconic imprint of beauty and influence, Chanel’s reign as the world’s  most famous fashion designer is put into jeopardy. The interwoven saga follows the  surprising stories of Dior’s contemporaries and rivals from Chanel to Pierre Balmain,  Cristóbal Balenciaga and more; and, provides a stunning view into the atelier, designs  and clothing created by Christian Dior through collaboration with the House of Dior.
