The Collection focuses on an illustrious Paris fashion house, emerging from
the dark days of the Occupation. It is centered on two very different
brothers. Coyle plays Paul Sabine, the couturier with a romantic vision
he hopes will resuscitate a beleaguered, post-war Paris. Riley plays his
brother Claude, the true but hidden genius behind the Sabine label.
Gummer is Paul's American wife, an expat who has lived in Paris for 10
years. The Sabines' mother (de la Tour) is a scheming matriarch who will
stop at nothing to use her sons to help achieve her own thwarted
ambitions. Jenna Thiam (The Returned) is Nina, the
working-class daughter of Sabine's chief seamstress and the unexpected
beauty who becomes the iconic face of the label.
