Summary
Alice Winocour's film "Couture" (French for "stitches") attempts to weave together the stories of three women—a film director, a makeup artist, and a model—operating within Paris's fashion industry. The film explores how women's labor is central to the fashion world while illustrating the disparate adversities each woman faces in honing her craft. However, the narrative threads come loose, struggling to fully connect these intersecting lives into a cohesive whole.
