Behind the Director's Vision
'I spent a year backstage at fashion shows, getting to know the makeup artists, seamstresses, and models away from the runway – that's where part of the film was born.'
— Alice Winocour
'Couture' represents a new phase in Angelina Jolie's career, as she ventures into directing within a genre outside her usual repertoire. This project highlights the growing trend of major international stars participating in films that broaden cultural horizons.
