Two of the most iconic designers in fashion history will be at the center of the glamorous new mini-series “The New Look”. Ben Mendelsohn as Christian DiorJuliette Binoche as Coco Chanel and Maisie Williams as Catherine Dior will bring the legendary feud between the two iconic French designers to the small screen.

Although a premiere date on AppleTV has not yet been announced, it has already generated interest thanks to its all-star cast, compelling subject matter and the promise of a high aesthetic of Parisian chic during World War II, according to Tatler. .

Maisie Williams recently revealed that she wrapped filming on City of Light and shared photos on Instagram of the set and the show’s iconic costumes. She plays Dior’s younger sister who was a heroine of the French Resistance while surviving the Ravensbrück concentration camp. It was the inspiration for the most famous fragrance of the legendary house.

In February 1947, Dior’s first collection took place, bringing a new air, a “New Look” to a busy Paris. With femininity as his ally, he gave volume and length to skirts, narrowed the female waist, freed the shoulders and created dresses with endless meters of fabric. This was followed by a secret demonstration at the French ambassador’s residence for the then Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret.

“Look how ridiculous these women are, wearing clothes by a man who does not know women, has never had women and dreams of becoming one”, was the response of Coco Chanel and the beginning of the dispute between the two historic designers with her to add: “Dior? But he doesn’t dress women. He puts up wallpapers for them.”
