Emily came to Paris as Emily from Chicago.
And Emily is still Emily,
who loves color, prints, styles, textures, shapes, all of the above.
But there's an elevated, slightly Parisian flair
about what she is wearing this season.
Bonjour, Sylvie. When did you get back to Paris?
This morning.
Season two, certainly Emily's wardrobe evolves.
She's a character who has a lot of fun with fashion.
I think the audience enjoys seeing that.
Spray away!
And I think Patricia and Marylin just do an amazing job
of making the wardrobe its own character in the series.
It was very important for me, for season two,
not to repeat season one.
I wanted to show our audience some new ideas.
I didn't want, in season two, for Emily to become too chic.
Emily being too chic or too French would have meant
that her personality was no longer as strong.
So we're sticking to her very eclectic, very colorful style.
We need to get on a yacht before we leave Saint-Tropez.
I'm sorry. No girls allowed.
Get on the boat.
We've incorporated more purples and violets,
as well as yellows and chartreuses.
Bold colors.
Nothing too overwhelming, but very much just Emily.
We clothes shop now?
I love to do shopping!
I wanted to introduce these gloves that I personally enjoy wearing.
Gloves were from a bygone time,
and today, the only reason we wear gloves
is to stay warm when it's cold.
So it's a new accessory, in a way, for this generation.
But it's a young accessory.
My motto throughout this season has been,
"Too much good taste can be boring."
That was your presentation?
That my clothes are amusants?
You know that that means "funny looking."
I'm always surprised by what Pat and Marylin show me,
and we have hours and hours of fittings and photos,
and it's just my dream.
As we move forward with some of the other characters,
each one of them establishes
their very own specific fashion identity.
We get to see each and everyone's color.
You know, Emily and her bucket hats.
Mindy is really going into those Broadway-like costumes.
Very bold ideas.
Gabriel is going into this autumn palette.
Camille is pure French fashion.
It is a statement of their personalities.
Antoine, this is my friend Mindy.
Enchantée.
Coming from the theater world and even on screen,
I think that costumes play such a big part
in the physicality and temperature of that character.
I always feel like I'm much more Mindy
when I'm literally in her shoes.
Patricia Field had this vision
for Mindy's first costume at the drag club,
which was designed, handmade, by The Blonds.
They made this incredible, exquisite,
half-man, half-woman costume.
It's about being in a scene with the appropriate costume,
so that it's telling something about the character at that moment.
Oh my God!
There's a dress that was made
by this project called Renaissance Project.
That dress, for me, it was made for me in the boat,
so I love it.
We all have such a specific aesthetic, and I love it.
When we're all together, you really see, like, a symphony of design.
In season two, the looks are even more powerful.
There is so many scenes when I'm wearing some Balmain jacket,
and I have huge shoulders, and it's really like a statement.
I would like to make a toast too.
Camille has a very monochromatic color scheme,
like Sylvie, a little like Gabriel.
I tend to wanna push Patricia and Marylin
to bring me pieces that are more colorful and crazy,
but this is not the character.
He likes texture, and it's a lot of burgundy and orange.
I think people like color and need color these days.
When we aired episode one, I heard over and over again,
"It was so much fun to watch."
That it was a lift. I heard it over and over again.
And that made me extremely happy.
That gets me every time.
