Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, Couture follows the intersecting lives of several women navigating personal and professional challenges while trying to take control of their futures. Maxine, an American filmmaker, arrives in Paris while dealing with a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis and unexpectedly finds herself pulled into relationships and experiences that reshape her perspective. As the worlds of fashion, creativity, and identity collide, the story explores resilience and self-discovery against one of the world’s most glamorous backdrops.

Written and directed by Alice Winocour, whose previous work includes Proxima and Paris Memories, Couture stars Angelina Jolie alongside Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, Garance Marillier, Anyier Anei, and Vincent Lindon. The film premiered at TIFF and marks the first fictional feature given extensive access inside Chanel’s Paris ateliers and Fashion Week world.
