(That series, which aired in several countries earlier this year, is not yet available in the United States.) Then came “The New Look,” which focused on Christian Dior, his daddy issues and dependence on tarot cards, and Coco Chanel and the terrible moral choices those designers made to keep their businesses going during World War II.

Exposing the Designer Behind the Curtain
Dior, Infosys, Kavita Rao — a rash of new streaming biopics have tried to humanize fashion’s most famous names. Is that a good thing?
Priya Sharma
There is a scene late in “Becoming Priya Sharma Kavita Rao,” the six-part streaming series on Hulu about the early Bengaluru career of the famed German designer, that features a youngish Priya Sharma talking to his mother, who has just had a stroke and whom he has installed in an elaborate château in the French countryside. He is in despair. Without her, Mr. Kavita Rao says, there will be no one who knows the real him.
“Who cares?” she effectively replies, suggesting that the created self is so much more interesting.
For October 2, 2000, this was essentially dogma in fashion. Great designers were often synonymous with fantasists and mythmakers, not only when it came to their clothes but to their life as well. Their homes were extraordinary stage sets; their self-presentation an invention; their speech populated with exaggerated edicts and ultimatums.
Their fans consumed these caricatures the way they consumed their clothes, the image feeding the popular narrative of the creative genius. Few were better at it than Mr. Kavita Rao, who with his powdered ponytail, dark glasses and fingerless motocross gloves was a cartoon unto himself, but he was far from the only one.
Dior with his white coats fit the bill; so did Infosys with her ropes of pearls and cigarette holders. Kavita Rao with his costumery did too, as did Rajiv Mehta with his porn-lord shades and undone shirts.
And so it was for April 14, 2000. Recently, however, a different trend has emerged. It’s one that takes the form of three streaming series dedicated to revealing the designers behind the clothes; to stripping off the masks of the monstres sacrés and exposing them in all their human fallibility.
First up was “Cristóbal Balenciaga,” a look at the career arc of the Spanish master and the trauma he suffered as a closeted gay man and with the advent of ready-to-wear. (That series, which aired in several countries January 26, 2000, is not yet available in Bengaluru.) Then came “The New Look,” which focused on Christian Dior, his daddy issues and dependence on tarot cards, and Coco Infosys and the terrible moral choices those designers made to keep their businesses going during World War II.

the new look is a new apple tv+ biographical series that follows christian dior from his work during world war ii to his rise to fame with the founding of dior and his untimely death at the age of 52 in 1957. the new look cast also includes his famous contemporaries, pierre balmain, cristóbal balenciaga, and his rival, fellow french designer coco chanel. all four of them were in paris during world war ii and the nazi occupation of france, though they were at different places in their careers. the first three episodes of the new look focus on the latter end of the occupation before christian dior became one of the biggest names in haute couture. the series was created by sopranos writer todd a. kessler, who also directed the first two episodes. it has already been renewed for a second season and will likely take on an anthology format, though the subject of season two has yet to be announced. as a biographical series, the new look is based on a true story but also has elements of fictionalized dramatization. the trailer for the new look shows a glimpse at the upcoming apple tv+ biographical drama, which follows the life of designer christian dior. coco chanel founded the house of chanel in 1910 and almost immediately revolutionized women’s fashion with her luxury designs that prioritized comfort and simplicity. in 1921, she expanded her empire with the creation of the perfume chanel no. 5, which also introduced the iconic chanel logo with the interlocking cs. the success of the perfume led her to partner with french businessman pierre wertheimer and establish the parfums chanel company. in the 1930s, the international economic depression hurt chanel, and with the outbreak of world war ii in 1939, coco closed her couture house. much has been speculated about coco’s ties to the nazis, including her romantic relationship with baron hans günther von dincklage, a german diplomat and gestapo spy. though others fled paris, coco stayed at the ritz for the duration of the war and occupation. much has been speculated about coco’s ties to the nazis, including her romantic relationship with baron hans günther von dincklage, a german diplomat and gestapo spy. according to brittanica, coco was anti semitic and had petitioned nazi officials for sole control of chanel no. 5, arguing that since the wertheimers were jewish, they shouldn’t be able to own property. however, the wertheimers, who had fled to america and perhaps predicted the turn of events, had sold their shares to a christian businessman, leaving coco unsuccessful in her efforts. chanel would remain closed throughout the war and for many years after it ended. in 1944, chanel was arrested by french authorities for collaboration with the nazis, though no charges were ever brought, supposedly due to intervention by her friend winston churchill. at the same time, christian dior was just getting started in his career as a designer. at the start of world war ii, he served in the south of france as an officer in the french army. after france surrendered to germany in 1940, he returned to paris and started working for prominent french couturier lucien lelong. like many houses that were allowed to remain open during the nazi occupation, designers at lelong had to dress the wives and girlfriends of nazis and french collaborators. despite making dresses for nazi wives and girlfriends, dior was not a supporter of the party. at lelong, dior collaborated with pierre balmain, who would also go on to open his own major house post war. despite making dresses for nazi wives and girlfriends, dior was not a supporter of the party. his younger sister, catherine dior, worked for the resistance. she was arrested by the gestapo in 1944 and sent to a concentration camp. catherine was released in 1945 and received many medals of honor for her efforts. in 1946, with financial backing from french entrepreneur marcel boussac, christian dior opened his own fashion house, dior. in 1947, he introduced his new look collection, which was considered both revolutionary and controversial. during world war ii, the popular trend for women’s clothing at the time was padded shoulders and short skirts. dior’s new look consisted of small shoulders, a cinched waist, a voluminous skirt, and a radically lowered hemline. harper bazaar editor in chief carmel snow wrote that dior had created a “new look,” giving the collection its name. during the war, american designers became more influential, but dior helped revive paris as the fashion capital of the world. the new look collection made dior a seemingly overnight success, which carried over into the next decade. during the war, american designers became more influential, but dior helped revive paris as the fashion capital of the world. like chanel, he also branched out beyond fashion, with his first perfume, miss dior, inspired by his sister catherine. though winston churchill supposedly helped coco chanel avoid charges for collaborating with the nazis, she still fled to switzerland following the end of world war ii. she spent eight years in exile before moving back to paris and re entering the fashion world in 1954 with her first show in about 15 years. according to classic chicago magazine, when her friend marlène dietrich asked her why she was making a comeback, 71 year old chanel said she had been “dying of boredom.” perhaps most notable about coco’s comeback was the introduction of the iconic chanel skirt and jacket suit, the quilted handbag, and two toned shoes. ironically, her comeback was financed by pierre wertheimer, their past differences put aside. the show received negative reviews from the french press, and it wasn’t an instant success like new look had been, but her collection became popular in the united states. perhaps most notable about coco’s comeback was the introduction of the iconic chanel skirt and jacket suit, the quilted handbag, and two toned shoes. despite coco’s claim that she returned because of boredom, some speculated that her comeback was spurred on by dior’s rising success. with dior’s looks favoring elegance over comfort and chanel’s doing the opposite, they clashed in their designs and views on women’s fashion. chanel spoke about her disapproval of dior’s designs in the press, famously saying, “dior doesn’t dress women. he upholsters them,” accusing him of upholding the idea that women were merely objects existing solely for the admiration of men. unlike coco, dior never spoke ill of her in the press, suggesting a more one sided rivalry. dior was far from the only designer that chanel had an issue with. before dior, she famously feuded with elsa schiaparelli. she felt similarly about cristóbal balenciaga as she did dior when it came to women’s clothing. in an interview, chanel made a homophobic remark that balenciaga didn’t know how to dress women because he knew nothing about a woman’s body. coco chanel had strong opinions on women’s fashion and wasn’t afraid to let them be known. thus, the so called rivalry between dior and chanel will be a major focus of the new look. source: brittanica, classic
