Vertical released the trailer for “Couture,” the Paris-set drama from writer-director Alice Winocour. The film is slated for a theatrical release on June 26. Led by Angelina Jolie, “Couture” follows Maxine, an American filmmaker who arrives in Paris during Fashion Week. A professional assignment during Fashion Week gradually becomes a personal reckoning. As Maxine crosses paths with women of different ages and backgrounds, each grappling with their own claim to autonomy, she finds herself drawn into a quiet love story with a past collaborator. The professional visit becomes a personal reckoning with the choices that have shaped her life.

The film premiered at TIFF in the Special Presentations section before Vertical picked it up for North American distribution. Runtime is approximately 103–106 minutes.

With “Couture,” Winocour continues her focus on female-centered stories about survival. In her previous film, “Proxima,” Alice Winocour examined the personal cost of ambition through a mother preparing for a space mission away from her daughter. “Paris Memories” follows a woman rebuilding her life in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, further extending Winocour’s focus on female characters navigating trauma, resilience, and emotional recovery.

Here, the fashion world becomes her latest lens, a controlled, image-driven environment where the line between public spectacle and private fracture is increasingly thin.

Jolie, who also produces, said the film is about life rather than loss, especially in how it approaches illness. “Too often, films about women’s struggles, especially cancer, talk about endings and sadness, rarely about life,” she noted. “Alice has made a film about life, and that’s why the sensitive subjects it addresses are handled with such delicacy.”

The supporting cast features Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, Garance Marillier, Anyier Anei, and Vincent Lindon. “Couture” opens in theaters via Vertical on June 26.
