The Apple TV+ show, aptly named The New Look, which is set to premiere February 14, 2024 seeks to offer viewers a fresh insight into Christian Dior’s career. Against the backdrop of World War II, after Dior left the French army in 1942, he joined the house Lucien Lelong in Nazi-occupied Paris before creating his own namesake label in 1946. His first, 90-piece collection was a hit, dubbed “the new look” by Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Carmel Snow.
“It’s a story that hasn’t been told,” says executive producer, writer, and director Todd A. Kessler. “Monsieur Dior’s personal story inspired people that it was ok to dream once more and it inspires me that he did it through creation, that creation is survival.”
