Playful prints, rich colors, daring combinations, a mix of patterns, accessories for the head: the success of Emily (Lily Collins) is also partly due to her look, her vitaminic and decidedly showy dresses.
Emily in Paris
, produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, is a successful Netlfix series, now in its second season, and in the story of this American provincial in the city of glamor and chic par excellence there is a decidedly excessive dose of stereotypes about Parisians but , despite this or perhaps because of this, it works great.
Costume designer Marylin Fitoussi and Emmy Award-winning costume consultant Patricia Field have returned to dress Emily and the rest of the group. "Part of the success of the first season is attributable to the freedom in the creation of the costumes: we combined polka dots with stripes, mixed colors and set no limits. My motto - says
Marylin Fitoussi
- has always been: "Too refined tastes are boring". If the first season seemed exaggerated and a little flashy, the new season is even more so. And I'm proud of it. Emily has a strong personality, which is reflected in her clothes ". In the last season black and white were used a lot, this one is completely new:" Fashion is fluid, but above all the most important thing for me is that fashion , like other art forms, it mirrors a period, ”adds
Patricia Field
(author of the costumes of 'Sex and the City', 'The devil wears Prada'). In fashion platforms, such as ShopStyle, searches for garments worn by characters such as Emily Cooper, Mindy Chen, Camille and Julien, the protagonists of the series, have increased. And not only as regards the protagonist played by Collins but also for the others: the research on Mindy (played by Ashley Park), the best friend of Emily in Paris, the blazer with sequins and a red bucket bag have increased respectively 69% and 60%. Requests for a leopard coat, red dress, and black felt hat increased by 53 percent, 41 percent, and 24 percent, respectively. And up to 80 percent are those to browse and maybe buy the really French clothes of Camille (played by Camille Razat),the real French girl of the series: starting with her oversized leather blazer and her high-waisted trousers. And Saks Fifth Avenue, the American luxury department, has sold (also online) many outfits of the series, from necklaces with the name to polygonal glasses, from crochet tops to short skirts, from multicolor beanies for the head). Then there is the Lancome limited edition make-up, skincare and fragrance inspired by Emily's bold and decisive character and her joie de vivre (Lily Collins is an ambassador of the beauty brand). The star of the collection is the eye palette, in the shape of a red heart and decorated with a gold Eiffel Tower pendant. Inside, 12 shades capture the dynamic style of French girls in three color families inspired by the most beloved characters of the series:"Born in France", inspired by Camille, "Parisian at heart", inspired by Emily and "Paris à la folie", inspired by Mindy.
But what signatures does Emily wear?
"For the second season - reveals Fitoussi - I decided that my challenge would be to combine an element of high fashion, by
Dior
or Balmain, with a young designer, with a vintage item, with something that can be found at H&M or Zara. Everyone should be able to buy what they prefer based on their own resources. Be it designer clothes or H&M. "
Emily in Paris Season 2 airs when we are still heavily grappling with the pandemic and this is even within a series that is pure entertainment: "I recently coined an expression that describes the reaction I would like to provoke with the costumes, which is" cheerful dresses. "I love colors. They allow me - says award-winning costume designer Patricia Field - to combine various combinations that capture the attention of the audience.
Emily
is perfect for colors. Everyone loves colors and needs them these days.
It has been repeatedly said that it was fun to watch Emily in Paris during the pandemic and that it cheered people's spirits. All of this really made me happy and I hope this season's outfits continue to put the audience in a good mood. "
