The most talked-about TV series of last year is finally back. Emily in Paris 2 is now available on Netflix and we’re all already thrilled with the quirky looks that await us. The wardrobe of the protagonist, played by Lily Collins, has been highly criticized, for an approach that is too didactic and full of clichés. But this second chapter promises to be more chic and Parisian than ever.

To Emily in Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi, the point is for the Lily Collins character to retain her bold sensibility, even as she begins to learn the language and customs of her new city. For Season 2, Fitoussi and Field were determined to push the fashions of the show even further. Emily (Lily Collins) is navigating a sticky love triangle but settling into life in Paris, and her style has become more sophisticated, if no less eye-catching. Even Emily’s imperious boss, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), is pushing the boundaries of French work wear, turning up in metallic suits and dramatic fringe.
