The New Look finished its story after 10 episodes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The New Look came to an end after 10 episodes that explored the careers of Coco Chanel and Christian Dior during the Nazi occupation of France and the time directly following the war’s end. After nine episodes teasing Dior’s first collection, The New Look finally saw it brought to life.
During their negotiations, Coco held strong to her demands, which included finalizing the deal in one day and not meeting each other face-to-face. Though the Wertheimers initially found her demands ridiculous and asked for an apology she refused to give, they eventually gave in, granting Coco two percent of the gross profit. This was a massive victory for Coco career-wise, but her personal life was falling apart at the same time.
Rather than focus on their rivalry, The New Look focused on Coco and Christian’s different journeys. At every step along the way, it seemed like Coco and Christian were on opposite paths. Christian was an up-and-coming designer while Coco was the biggest name in fashion. Christian was reluctant to design dresses for Nazi wives and girlfriends while Coco cozied up with officers.
It coincided with Christian revealing his famed “Bar Suit,” the final look in his collection, modeled by Maria Thérèse. Just before she went down the runway he asked her if she was ready, to which she said no. “Neither am I,” he told her, but she went down the runway anyway, shocking those in attendance and solidifying Christian’s status as the new face of couture.
In The New Look episode 9, he proved just how far he was willing to go to protect himself and his secret when he gave Elsa the drugs she overdosed on. In The New Look finale, Coco was suspicious of his involvement in Elsa’s death, though she couldn’t prove that he was behind it. Spatz was only concerned about getting the money he felt Coco owed him.
Balmain, Christian's former colleague at Lelong, was the most upset with him in The New Look. Pierre spearheaded a campaign against Christian to get him kicked out of the couture council, which would be the end of the House of Dior. Even Christian’s friend Balenciaga was disappointed in Christian’s behavior and didn’t know if he could help him.
