The New Look
Premieres on Feb 14
Based on a true story, the series explores the rise of fashion designer Christian Dior in the wake of World War II’s conclusion. Still reeling from the war, for many in the industry, creation through fashion was a way to live through and after the chaos of the fighting. Along with his counterparts like Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain and Cristobal Balenciaga, their ideas launched the concept of modern fashion. The series addresses Dior’s initial rise to the top with his iconic imprint of beauty and influence, which ultimately threatens to dethrone Chanel’s stronghold as the world’s most famous fashion designer. Although it is a series about the growth of fashion and the icons who created such ideas, the show also serves as a historical drama, given its setting in post-war Europe.
