While there is a flood of shows covering the fashion industry, the latest release, La Maison, a French drama on Apple TV+, premiered on September 20, 2024. The fashion world is no stranger to drama, and this show highlights just how intense it can get. It is a 10-episode series offering a gripping story of power, family, and corporate battles, much like the popular show Succession.
While Succession focused on a media empire's leader retiring and the power struggle that followed, La Maison's plot revolves around the Ledu family, owners of a prestigious independent fashion house, and their rivalry with a luxury fashion conglomerate.
The series, created by showrunners José Caltagirone and Valentine Milville, is based on an original idea by Alex Berger, who also holds the role of executive producer. It is directed by the acclaimed directors Fabrice Gobert and Daniel Grou, with Emmanuelle Bouilhaguet contributing as an executive producer as well.
