AFFFF26 Couture

In Paris, at the heart of Fashion Week, Maxine (Angelina Jolie), an American filmmaker commissioned to direct a film for a prestigious fashion house, receives sudden news that destabilises her whole world. Her path soon crosses with two other women: Ada (Anyier Anei), a young South Sudanese model who has travelled far to carve out her place in Paris, and Angèle (Ella Rumpf, Marguerite’s Theorem, AF FFF24), a French makeup artist quietly dreaming of a different life. Between these three women from vastly different backgrounds, an unexpected solidarity begins to take shape. Beneath the glamorous surface of haute couture lies a quiet form of rebellion, as each woman, in her own way, attempts to mend the loose threads of her personal story. The film follows their intertwined journeys through a world that is as captivating as it is ruthless, gradually revealing vulnerabilities, aspirations, and the power of a subtle yet essential bond. Presented in a bilingual French-English format, COUTURE offers an intimate glimpse into the fashion world while exploring human connection and the resilience of women.
