The New Look, a collection that revolutionized the fashion world. After years of fabric rationing during and after War World 2, clothing conditions were based on functionality, practicality. In 1947 a French designer broke away from the past by setting a new course. Christian Dior introduced a collection based on long skirts flowing from tiny waists. Apple TV+ will stream an original show based on Dior’s pieces as well as examining the creative rivalry with fashion designers Coco Chanel and Balmain. “Wearing clothes by a man who doesn’t know a women, never had one, and dreams of being one”, Chanel’s infamous quote on The New Look.
Starring Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche, The New Look from Todd A. Kessler streams February 14, 2024. I am looking forward to it.
