Emily in Paris
Created by Darren Star, the man responsible for Sex and the City and Younger, and starring Lily Collins, this new series follows Emily (Collins), as she navigates Paris through a series of exhilarating adventures and dynamic relationships.

The fashion is a noteworthy feat, courtesy of costume designer Patricia Fields and featuring looks from Chanel, Christian Siriano, Veronica Beard and Off-White.
