An American filmmaker goes on a journey as she arrives in Paris for Fashion Week.
Couture is the first fictional film allowed to be shot inside Chanel's Paris showroom and atelier. Director Winocour was given special access to the brand’s fashion shows and behind-the-scenes work, including time with the seamstresses and other workers. She wanted to show the fashion world from a female and working-class point of view, rather than the usual focus on male artistic directors. [2]
In November 2024, it was announced Angelina Jolie, Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, Garance Marillier, Anyier Anei and Finnegan Oldfield had joined the cast of the film, then titled Stitches, with Alice Winocour directing from a screenplay she wrote. Principal photography began that same month in Paris. [3] [4] [5] In February 2025, it was announced the film had been re-titled Couture. [6]
The film screened at the 73rd San Sebastián International Film Festival on 21 September 2025. [7] It will be screened in non-competitive section 'Grand public' of the 20th Rome Film Festival in October 2025. [8]
