"I was really surprised by the Parisian audience, that they were offended by the beret please!"
"We didn't just want to upset the French we wanted to make them cry."
"We are so boring and so posh sometimes. Nobody wants to smile because it looks stupid, nobody wants to be colourful because it's tacky, no one wants to be a maximalist because they thought Coco Chanel said that you always need to take something off."
Emmanuel Macron named Darren Star a knight of the Legion of Honour for boosting France's cultural prominence and soft power through Emily in Paris's global success. The show initially provoked backlash from Parisians who objected to Emily Cooper's brash, colourful wardrobe and particular items such as a beret. Costume designer Marylin Fitoussi, who worked with Patricia Field on early seasons, expressed surprise at Parisian offense and described embracing audacious American style as intentionally provocative. Fitoussi framed the resistance as evidence of a self-serious French chic and contrasted that with maximalist, colourful aesthetics. Emily's wardrobe evolves, including more refined 1950s-inspired looks in Rome.
