The New Look marks Todd A. Kessler's debut series for Apple TV+ and his first solo project in years, departing from his previous collaborations with Glenn and Daniel Zelman. Teaming up with Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, the series delves into the lives of iconic French fashion designers during World War II, particularly focusing on Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.
The show's title, inspired by Harper's Bazaar editor Carmel Snow's description of Dior's 1947 collection, reflects the essence of the narrative. Kessler and Di Bonaventura expressed enthusiasm for their collaboration, aiming for a grander scale than their previous works.
