“In the frenzy of Fashion Week, three women cross paths in Paris, grappling with the world’s tragedies and the questions of their lives: American film director Maxine Walker (Jolie), South Sudanese model Ada (model Anyier Anei in her feature film debut) and French makeup artist Angèle (Ella Rumpf), working in the shadows of the catwalks,” reads an official synopsis of the project. “In the form of intertwining destinies, ‘Couture’ examines the souls and wounds of women’s bodies.”
Rounding out the cast is Louis Garrel.
UTA Independent Film Group, who helped raise the financing for the film and is handling global and North American rights, with HanWay Films representing international rights, will introduce the package at EFM. Pathé, which previously collaborated with Winocour on her Cannes Directors’ Fortnight premiere “Revoir Paris,” is handling distribution in France.
The creative team includes cinematographer Andre Chemetoff, multi-César nominated costume designer Pascaline Chavanne and production designer Florian Sanson.
The film is produced by Jolie, Charles Gillibert (“Bergman Island”) of CG Cinéma alongside Zhang Xin (“History of Sound”) and William Horberg (“Milk”) of Closer Media. Bob Xu is serving as an executive producer.
“Couture” is co-produced with France 3 Cinéma and has received funding from La Région Île-de-France, Canal+, Ciné+ OCS, France Télévisions and Chanel.
Winocour is represented by UTA and UBBA.
Jolie is represented by WME and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.
