Release of Alice Winocour film ‘Couture’

Overview

The film ‘Couture’, directed by Alice Winocour and starring Angelina Jolie, is scheduled for theatrical release in France on August 26. The drama follows Maxine Walker, an American filmmaker who must navigate a breast cancer diagnosis while working in Paris during Fashion Week.

Production details reveal that the film is the first to be authorized to film inside the Chanel haute couture atelier at 31 rue Cambon. Although the production utilized the maison’s actual seamstresses and its iconic Art Deco mirror staircase, Winocour opted not to use the Chanel brand name or logos to preserve fictional consistency.

The narrative explores themes of resilience, female solidarity, and vulnerability, featuring supporting roles played by Anyier Anei and Ella Rumpf, as well as Louis Garrel.
