Apple TV+’s “The New Look” brings the people behind iconic haute couture fashion houses to life as it traces the cultural clash between the designers Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche) and Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) after World War II and the Holocaust. As Chanel gets pushed out of the zeitgeist, Dior’s designs — based on his need to create for survival — slowly take the reins of haute couture.

The plot splits between the two fashion legends — though they never speak to each other throughout the show’s 10 episodes — as well as Dior’s sister, Catherine, and her harrowing experiences fighting for the French resistance.
