Synopsis: Esther, the head designer at Dior, is working on the company's last Haute Couture collection before retiring. One day, her bag is stolen in the metro by 20-year-old Jade. But Jade, overcome with remorse, decides to return her property. Seduced in spite of herself by the young girl's audacity and convinced that she has a gift, Esther offers her the chance to join the workshops of the Maison Dior as an apprentice. The opportunity to pass on to Jade a trade that has always been practiced for the beauty of the gesture...
Haute Couture could be of interest to viewers sensitive to stories of personal reinvention and intergenerational relationships. Fans of films such as La Fine Fleur or La Tête haute (Standing Tall) would find here a second-chance theme, set against a backdrop of apprenticeship and transformation. The film also stands out for its rare setting: backstage at a major fashion workshop, offering a realistic look at artisanal trades. The tone blends emotion and social realism, in the tradition of stories such as Divines or Les Héritiers.
Directed and written by Sylvie Ohayon, Haute Couture benefited from the participation of the House of Dior, allowing filming to take place in the real workshops. The film reunites French cinema star Nathalie Baye with Lyna Khoudri, who made her name in Papicha and Les Sauvages. The care taken to recreate the work of small hands, from textile materials to precise gestures, anchors the film in a desire to promote craftsmanship and professional transmission.
Haute Couture immerses us in the demanding, delicate world of a Parisian fashion atelier, through the relationship between an experienced seamstress and a young woman in search of her bearings. Between professional gestures, human relationships and social climbing, the film will appeal to fans of intimate stories and environments rarely shown on screen.
