Dior and I (2015)
Movie
Released
If you want to see where couture is actually made, start here. Filmed in 2012, it follows Raf Simons through roughly eight weeks to his first haute couture collection for Dior, after he was hired to replace John Galliano, and the real stars are the seamstresses in white lab coats who build each piece by hand.
The tension is practical rather than staged: fabric that will not behave, a deadline that will not move, and a new creative director working out how the atelier runs. Critics found it slight on Simons himself, but on process it is hard to beat.
