Set against the World War II Nazi occupation of Paris, “The New Look” focuses on the pivotal moment in the 20th century when the French city led the world back to life through its fashion icon Christian Dior. As Dior rises to prominence with his groundbreaking, iconic imprint of beauty and influence, Chanel’s reign as the world’s most famous fashion designer is put into jeopardy. The interwoven saga follows the surprising stories of Dior’s contemporaries and rivals from Chanel to Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga and more; and, provides a stunning view into the atelier, designs and clothing created by Christian Dior through collaboration with the House of Dior. The new drama series from creator Todd A. Kessler is led by an ensemble cast that features Emmy Award winner Ben Mendelsohn as 'Christian Dior'; Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche as 'Coco Chanel'; Maisie Williams as 'Catherine Dior'; John Malkovich as 'Lucien Lelong'; Emily Mortimer as 'Elsa Lombardi' and Claes Bang as 'Spatz.'

The New Look’s Ben Mendelsohn Talks Christian Dior’s ‘Ferocious Ambition’ in Apple TV+ WWII Drama

Quote

“I think [Christian] is navigating [war] not knowing what he’s doing. I think he has some principles. I think they are being eroded, in any case.”

- Ben Mendelsohn

Quote

“She understood very early on that being a businesswoman was going to give her freedom, independence, and that was the main thing that was important, because she knew she couldn’t count on a man.”

- Juliette Binoche

Ben Mendelsohn Waited Five Years to Play Christian Dior in The New Look

Quote

"It's a wonderful story. It's very different than I think people are gonna expect. It's not about fashion. It's not about the war. It's not really about any of that stuff. It's about how do you get through life. When you think that you're this type of person and you have these values and then bam, you hit reality, you must adjust. It's a thriller."

- Ben Mendelsohn

The New Look EP Talks Season 2 Outlook — and the Fashion Icon He Has Designs On Adding

Quote

“With all the series that I’ve created, the goal is to have five or six seasons worth of storytelling,” Kessler said. (His prior producing credits include Damages and Bloodline.) He added that he wouldn’t have taken on The New Look unless it was intended to extend beyond Season 1.

Quote

After Dior’s death, Saint Laurent, who was just 21 at the time, took over the brand, which Kessler called “the world’s most profitable, influential fashion house.”

Kessler revealed that, should the series be renewed for a second season, it would “go on to tell the Yves Saint Laurent story — which is incredibly compelling and rivals the Dior story.”
