The New Look is largely accurate in portraying post-WWII fashion and the rivalry between Dior and Chanel, though it takes some creative liberties. It shows Dior’s 1947 collection and the iconic bar suit, highlighting the dramatic shift from wartime austerity to opulent, full skirts and nipped waists.

The series accurately depicts Dior’s concern for his sister and Chanel’s controversial wartime actions, while fictionalized dialogue and scenes add personal depth.
