LOS ANGELS, CALIFORNIA: The meticulous reconstruction of fashion realms in the golden era of the 1940s serves as the backdrop for Apple TV+'s 'The New Look.'

The show, which debuted on February 14, 2024, explores the lives of Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) and Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche) as they struggle to survive in the fashion industry following World War II.

Coco enlisted the aid of Elsa Lombardi (Emily Mortimer) in convincing her former partner Pierre Wertheimer (Charles Berling) to take a quick trip to Paris in the previous episode.

Later, Coco gets her hands on some perfume samples in hopes that they will be the next big thing in the industry and help her secure her financial future.

In the upcoming episode, Coco will face obstacles on her journey to set up a boutique in Switzerland, all while trying to engineer her comeback.

Seeking to generate some publicity for her return, she will also enlist the assistance of a well-known fashion editor.

Meanwhile, Christian, who recently announced his departure from Lucien Lelong's (John Malkovich) design firm, is dealing with his own issues.

He preferred a smaller location for his couture house, but Marcel Boussac (Patrick Albenque) offered a larger one.

Ultimately, though, things work out in his favour since Boussac chooses to use Christian's location for their couture.

The forthcoming episode will depict Christian's ascent to fame as an iconic fashion designer.

We can expect to see him work tirelessly to cement his place in the industry and the debut of his highly regarded fashion line, 'The New Look.'

Although details regarding the episode's director are not known, the episode's duration of 35 to 40 minutes is likely to be consistent with its prior episodes.
