The New Look delves back into the torments of the Second World War to explain where, in 1947, the creative genius of Christian Dior's avant-garde collection sprang from. Juliette Binoche plays a madcap and haughty Coco Chanel who cannibalizes the screen in front of a Dior, played by Ben Mendelsohn.

Screenwriter of thrillers (Damages, Blood lines), Todd A. Kessler had the idea for this series, which takes him out of his comfort zone.
