Emily in Paris star Lily Collins prefers Denmark and minimalism

Her real “Lily boom” came with the role of Emily, a childish American who moves to work at an advertising agency in Paris. The series, whose main character is compared to Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City” (from the same producer), is full of stereotypes, exaggerations and is often far from reality. But since 2020, it has consistently impressed viewers. Some people watch it to “hate” it with friends, others admire the acting of the characters, and others take away from it the atmosphere of the city of lights. She herself benefits from this – the daily “Le Monde” cites data in which 38 percent of those who come to the French capital emphasize that the impetus for making this decision was watching “Emily in Paris”.

“We both love fashion, traveling… and our work! We’re not afraid to confide in our loved ones and ask for help. Like Emily, I like to see the best in people. We both like to think positively and find solutions. Of course, we never stop complaining! On the other hand, I don’t always agree with their romantic choices…” – Lily Collins listed the similarities in an interview with French Vogue after the first two seasons. “Emily is very close to me, so close that my way of walking and my style have changed. She’s a character I’ve learned a lot from and that I love very much. So much so that I have to be aware of how present Emily is in my life.” Collins also admitted that she felt more and more at home in Paris. She studied French in school in the United States and often heard it during visits to her father who lived in Switzerland, now she has the opportunity to improve it.

It’s not just “Emily in Paris” that’s having a lot of fun

Fashion is an integral part of the show’s success. The characters appear to pick out their everyday outfits from boutiques on the Champs Elysées, which is definitely different from the image of a typical Parisian street, but it clearly doesn’t matter to the audience. Lily Collins has been interested in fashion since she was a little girl. “At a time when vintage wasn’t considered cool, my mother would shop at thrift stores. I would be in the stroller and she would shop and haggle! She always encouraged me to express myself through clothes, which could sometimes replace words. One day I was a fairytale princess, the next I was a rock ‘n’ roll girl,” she recalled to French Vogue. “Whether it’s a bold color or a simple stripe, every element has the power to change our personality, expression and attitude. Thanks to the costume designers of ‘Emily in Paris’, we are having a great time!” She points out that the series not only creates new talent among designers, but also interesting places, such as cafes and restaurants.

Despite Lily-Emily’s fondness for the French capital, she didn’t decide to live there for longer than the days of filming on set required. She and her husband, director Charlie McDowell, chose Denmark. On the occasion of the premiere of the fourth season of the series during Copenhagen Fashion Week, Netflix and Vogue Scandinavia organized a meet-and-greet with Lily Collins as the guest of honor. She looked the complete opposite of her character, known for her maximalism. She wore a gray dress by Danish brand Mark Domino Kenly Tan and the most fashionable mesh flats by Azzedine Alaïa. She revealed that she managed to smuggle several designer clothes from her current country of residence for Emily’s wardrobe, and her favorites include: Stine Goya, Cecilie Bahnsen and By Malene Birger.
