This is how the bold and radiant outfits were created for ‘Emily in Paris 2 ′

From the unique structured floral dress to the unforgettable bucket hat, the fashion in season 1 of the Netflix series Emily in Paris left a singular impression on the public.

This story continues the daily life of a young american that seeks to break through the French advertising and marketing industry, but his life and work are complicated due to his love decisions. In this second season, The tension rises even higher when a new romantic interest appears and a close friendship ends..

Lucas Bravo returns as the handsome and talented chef Gabriel, while the character of Kate Walsh, Madeline Wheeler, Emily’s American boss gets more prominence. They add up Lucien Laviscount What Alfie Y Arnaud Binard as the owner of Laurent G, a luxurious bar in Saint-Tropez.

It goes without saying that pressure was high when cameras started rolling season 2. Fortunately, both the costume designer Marylin Fitoussi as the costume design consultant and Emmy winner Patricia Field They also return to style Emily and company.

Fitoussi and Field discussed the differences in the dressing room for this season, what it was like to work with the Starring and Executive Producer Lily Collins and where they found the key outfits of this season.

Following the success of Season 1, how did you look to differentiate yourself in the dressing room for Season 2?

Marylin Fitoussi: Part of the success of the first season was the freedom that costume design gave people to mix things up to their liking. He showed them that they could combine polka dots and stripes, add colors without limiting themselves. My motto, for this season and the previous one, has always been: “Too good taste is boring.” My brand is eclecticism and merging everything. So if people thought Season 1 was a little over the top, a little flashy, Season 2 will be even more so. And it’s something that makes me proud. Emily has a strong personality, and we keep her wardrobe just as strong this season.

Patricia Field: It was very important to try not repeat what we did in the first season. My intention is to show our audience some new ideas. The Last season we used a lot of black and white, so I didn’t want to do that anymore. We were not going to wear the fisherman’s hat again, obviously; we are not going to bore anyone. We don’t want them to think: “I already saw that.” We want to offer something new, exciting and interesting. Fashion is fluid and, most importantly, in my opinion, is that — like other art forms — it reflects the times. Whatever moment we are in, you will see it in fashion. But we try to avoid the trends in the series. I say over and over again that trends die young; trends go out of style very quickly.

What was it like working with Lily Collins again this season?

Fitoussi: It’s wonderful, she has fully embraced all of Emily’s gestures, her vocabulary, everything that is part of Emily’s very special style. Lily is a professional, so she never says no to anything, although there are outfits that take her by surprise. When he sees some combinations, he asks, “Really?” With a small smile. If it’s at least a little haunting, I know it means it’s good. If Lily isn’t puzzled, I think, “So it’s still too simple.” We try many things, I put together wardrobe catalogs to show her and, from there, she decides which ones she wants to try, which transmit something to you. It is very open. Luckily, none of our actors set limits. They trust me and Patricia, and it’s wonderful to work that way, because we can take things a little further each time. We can raise the bar.

How do you manage to get the main pieces of the wardrobe?

Fitoussi: For the past seven years, I have promoted reuse and recycling. We only buy new products if we need something the next day and they can’t deliver it on time. I love shops vintage; I am friends with most of the store owners vintage from Paris. They call me when they have unique or very special pieces; anything the common mortal would walk away from. For season 2, I decided that my challenge would be to combine a piece of haute couture, Dior or Balmain, with a young designer, with a piece vintage, with something you would find in a store like H&M or Zara. Everyone should be able to buy something they love, based on their ability. Buy designer if you can, buy H&M. I do most of my shopping between 3:30 and 5:30 am This is when my mind is at its best.
