\n\tEmmy-nominated costume designer Marylin Fitoussi has been working on the looks for Netflix\u2019s \u201cEmily in Paris<\/a>\u201d since Season 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany of Fitoussi\u2019s choices for the most reason season were dictated by one key element: Emily\u2019s sharp bob. The haircut symbolized a new chapter for the character \u2014 played by Lily Collins<\/a> \u2014 and allowed her to go further and bolder with her fashion choices.<\/p>\n

\n\tFitoussi has outfitted Collins in chic and romantic silhouettes using vintage finds, bold prints and high-end designer pieces. But this season saw a shift toward a bolder Emily, with looks inspired by Italian aesthetics, signature prints, bold block colors and more black. \u201cShe\u2019s not so focused on the business jobs. She\u2019s focused on achieving something at a personal level, and she\u2019s not hiding,\u201d Fitoussi says. <\/p>\n

\n\tOne standout item for Fitoussi was the bold red blazer Emily wears at the end of Season 5. It was a statement piece designed by Barbara Bui. Fitoussi explains, \u201cIt was a manifesto,\u201d and she wanted audiences be shocked by it. \u201cIt was a strong silhouette, and we wanted to say, \u2018Look at me, I\u2019m not shy of anything. I\u2019m ready to take the future for whatever it will be. What I\u2019m showing you at this moment is a confident, strong woman who is not hiding behind girl stuff.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFitoussi spent the season searching for the perfect costume and eventually found it, though not before coming across pieces that were \u201ctoo wrong, or too empowering,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted this poppy red. It\u2019s nothing to do with blood, or too strong, or being too aggressive. It was joyful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe red blazer also reflected Emily\u2019s evolving relationship with Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), Emily\u2019s mentor. \u201cShe learned a lot from Sylvie. In the beginning, red was a restricted color; in a certain way, it belonged to Sylvie. So she decided also to go one step beyond and to adopt the color \u2014 the prohibited color. It was also a sign of confidence. And she said, \u2018OK, whatever will happen to me, I\u2019m deciding to do that, to take the private color from my boss.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFitoussi earned an Emmy nomination for her work on Episode 10, which features Emily attending Venice Fashion Week. The idea for the fashion show came from Darren Star, the show\u2019s creator, and he drew inspiration from the Palio di Siena, a bareback horse race that showcases colors representing the city wards. \u201cHe said, \u2018Marilyn, you have to design a collection which is a mix of Palio di Siena and Polo Ralph Lauren,’\u201d Fitoussi remembers.<\/p>\n

\n\tFitoussi had three weeks to research and create the designs. \u201cI\u2019m a patchwork lover, so I did a lot of that. And I thought the \u2018Singing in the Rain\u2019 tribute was a beautiful tribute to French, American and Italian cultures.\u201d Fitoussi adds that the pastels and soft colors ultimately created \u201ca subtle Venetian palette.\u201d<\/p>\n
