FASHION & FRAGILITY
Angelina Jolie talks about her deeply personal new film, set during Paris Fashion Week
With the title Couture and a plot that unravels during Paris Fashion Week, one might be forgiven for assuming that Angelina Jolie’s latest film would be a frothy fashion spectacle.
In fact, the plot is inspired by the actress and philanthropist’s personal life.
Angelina has spent more than 20 years working with refugees, speaking up for women’s rights and highlighting injustice wherever she sees it.
When she chose to undergo a preventive double mastectomy in 2013, after learning that she carried the BRCA1 gene, which increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, she bravely spoke about her ordeal to help other women.
