Here's how the French really feel about the style of EmilyinParis
; the endless sequence of overly attractive Frenchmen popping up like marionettes on every street corner. There are the personal-brand-building selfies with the onscreen likes ticker. And then, of course, there are the American-in-Paris Barbie outfits.
“Hum…allergic? Epidemic?” quips Stéphanie Delpon, the cofounder of Parisian creative agency Pictoresq, before cutting back on the sarcasm in favor of more objective analysis. “To put it simply, Emily is not my style. It’s not the items she wears per se that I don’t like. It’s the accumulation—the pink foulard, the pink and violet hats, the curled hair, the superimposing of patterns and layers of flashy colors.
The one thing that seems to ring true for them is the depiction of the fashion and luxury industry, which has seen a changing of the guard in recent years. “The show depicts, with a certain accuracy, the tensions within the industry between the vapid Instagrammeuses and the old media who still rely on a source of mystery and social hierarchy,” says Carton.
Others commend the way in which Emily perseveres in spite of the endless critique. “It’s pretty cool that Emily stands up for herself and keeps going despite the difficulties,” says Chermont, noting that most Parisiennes are often more withdrawn, shy, and lack that kind of confidence. “She follows her ideas and desires to the end.”
