After his successful ventures with Emmy-winning series such as Damages and Bloodline, TV writer and producer Todd A. Kessler has now ventured into the world of fashion with his latest creation, The New Look. This Apple Originals exclusive series takes us back to post-World War II Paris, where it explores the rise of French haute couture.
The New Look, available for streaming on Apple TV+, follows the journey of Christian Dior, brilliantly portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn, as he becomes the talk of Paris with his innovative fashion line. Alongside Dior, the series delves into the stories of fashion rivals Coco Chanel (played by Juliette Binoche), Pierre Balmain (played by Thomas Poitevin), and Cristóbal Balenciaga (played by Nuno Lopes), as they navigate the burgeoning world of French haute couture in the aftermath of WWII.
