Balenciaga. “Cristóbal Balenciaga”, a Spanish-language miniseries (on Disney+).

Bina Daigeler is responsable for the costumes of this series and the actor Alberto San Juan embodies Balenciaga himself.

Ben Mendelsohn stars as Dior, while Juliette Binoche portrays the legendary Coco Chanel. Watch their rivalry unfold against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Paris. 

Galliano. “High & Low: John Galliano” (in cinema this spring). The documentary opens in cinemas, exploring the complex story of the designer – from the quick fame to the controversy in 2010 and reinvention a couple of years later. The movie is featuring interviews with Sidney Toledano, Anna Wintour, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, Charlize Theron and Galliano himself.
