Jade is an aimless 20-year-old thief who lives in a cramped apartment with her ailing mother. But when she steals a handbag belonging to the head seamstress at Dior, a series of unexpected events is set in motion. Haute Couture is a witty and delightfully stylish modern-day Cinderella story and a glimpse behind the scenes of high fashion. Director and writer Sylvie Ohayon delivers a stunning and detailed look into the world of couture creation in a warm and relatable story of second chances. In the process, she shines a light on the extremely thin lines that separate the young and the old and the haves and have nots.

“Ohayon has supercharged the chick flick into an elevated film de femme. It’s a firehose of sophistication.” — Michael Talbot-Haynes, FilmThreat
