Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche will star as fashion icons Christian Dior and Coco Chanel in a new Apple TV+ series.
Apple TV+ has given a series order to The New Look, a drama that will follow the careers of world renowned fashion designers Christian Dior and Coco Chanel, set in World War II-era Paris. Emmy winner Ben Mendelsohn and Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche are set to star as Dior and Chanel respectively.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While Dior and Chanel’s influence on the world of fashion is undeniable, to many their legacy is tainted by their involvement in Nazi-occupied France. Channel was a vocal antisemite and even has a section in her Wikipedia page titled “Activity as Nazi agent”. Meanwhile, Dior first gained prominence as a designer by designing dresses for the wives of Nazi officers in occupied France. To what degree these actions will be addressed in the show is currently unknown.
The New Look comes from Bloodline co-creator Todd A. Kessler in association with Apple Studios. The series will be written, directed, and executive produced by Kessler, and is the first product of a new producing partnership between Kessler and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, with Mark A. Baker will also serving as a producer on the series.
