When did Dior’s New Look come out?
The New Look TV series debuts on February 14, 2024, exclusively on Apple TV+. But Christian Dior’s “New Look” in fashion, which was part of his first collection, launched in 1947.
Dior’s collection featuring his New Look was revolutionary for its time, introducing a new era of femininity and luxury in women’s fashion after WWII austerity. Dior died in 1957, making it astounding that, despite only designing clothing under his own name for a decade, the House of Dior continues to dominate the fashion industry today.
Where was The New Look filmed?
The New Look was set in and filmed exclusively in Paris, France. We’ll have all the details on specific filming locations for The New Look once the series is released on Apple TV+.
