that makes sense. the main demografic of this show probably isn't people in their mid 20s to 30s, but teens who see this as a Cool Grown Up fantasy, like how kids would watch disney shows as a Cool Teen Fantasy
@@Girl_from_Redgrave I am pretty sure they were aiming for people in their 20's just by looking at season 1 but it is obviously made by people who have no idea what people in 20's live like. Just look at the social media plot line, definitely something a person in 40's think influencer is like.
I feel like they really could’ve done something with the whole “dressing like Aubrey Hepburn in a French movie” thing. Like, they could’ve made it into a metaphor for how Emily is interested in French culture, but only knows it thru an American lens? Idk I feel like there’s something there they can expand on...
Camille had so much potential as a character, but then they made her turn nasty this season to make Emily seem better by comparison. I can understand her wanting revenge on Emily for cheating with Gabriel, but it takes TWO people to commit adultery, not one. And ultimately, she looked weak for taking Gabriel back after all that!
She only took him back to get back at Emily, she's pretty much over him. It's just another stupid cliched female rivalry over a crappy man who doesn't have the balls to be honest to his girlfriend about what he truly wants.
I would’ve liked more this season if the plot was about Camille and Emily realizing is not worth ruining their friendship over a guy that doesn’t know what he wants, and them working to get their friendship back also Gabriel making amends for forgiveness from the two of them. And maybe at the end the 3 of them back as friends again, or him leaving the city so the storyline moves to something else more interesting than 2 girls fighting over a guy. Idk 🤷🏻♂️
totally agree. I get emily needs a block to getting with gabriel now that she’s staying in paris (well, presumably) but it makes no sense for camille to take back a cheater and a liar, even if it’s to rub it into emily but even then too much commitment for revenge?
I’d love a euphoria analysis since it’s not really a “fashion” show but it sparked soooooo many trends and the show is coming for another season now in January I loved this video ✨
Mina, thank you for mentioning Petra. It's so triggering seeing everyone else ignoring the issue. I think many westerners do not understand the discrimination that eastern Europeans face: we are seen as inferior, it's much deeper than just "a stereotype". We are denied jobs, we get told that we are whores, that we're thieves constantly. These portrayals in media, as subtle as they may seem, pay a HUGE role in how people will then treat us in real life. I think it's hard for Americans to understand it, because we're white-- but the truth is that racism and xenophobia are much different in Europe. Being pale doesn't save you from being called subhuman, and people will make sure to tell you that your culture is wrong, or that you shouldn't speak your language in public. We're tired of being shown this way in media, because it's not only American TV doing this.
And I say triggering because I have experienced so much discrimination as a Slavic woman, even by random people in the street. Seeing people say that the whole Petra thing is no big deal is a huge slap in the face, and it feels like it validates all the ignorant people who i had to deal with
@@demps025 thank you! I try my best to educate others around me... It's important to talk about these things, as hard as they are. I try my best to listen to other people's experiences as well, so that I can become more educated when it comes to racism and xenophobia. I think we must all support each other as much as we can
The real test of the show is (assuming she doesn’t already) having Lily Collins learn the accent and pronunciation well enough to demonstrate big progress and intermediate level fluency in the next season.
It's very clear that Lily Collins is deliberately pronouncing French words poorly to show that her character sucks at the language. Yeah, i think it would be cool if her character notably improved next season.
@@charles1413 from a quick google search: During her appearance on The Netflix Afterparty, Lily Collins revealed her history with Romance and Neo-Latin language, saying: "My little brothers are half-Swiss, so I started speaking French with them at a young age, and I started dreaming in it and reading it."
I would’ve liked more this season if the plot was about Camille and Emily realizing is not worth ruining their friendship over a guy that doesn’t know what he wants, and them working to get their friendship back also Gabriel making amends for forgiveness from the two of them. And maybe at the end the 3 of them back as just friends again, or him leaving the city so the storyline moves to something else more interesting than 2 girls fighting over a guy. Idk 🤷🏻♂️
I don't get why you want everyone to be friends again. This ain't care bear universe. Camille should have cussed them out and left their sorry asses to be together.
The friendship was ruined the moment Emily decided to get emotionally involved with Gabriel and sleep with him. Camille should have moved on from both of them. Oh well. She's still better than Emily.
Why is Gabriel supposed to be a love interest? The man is a cheater. I don't care if it's the hottest man God created, if a man cheats so casually as he has he becomes greasy garbage in my eyes.
And he's SO boring. Even Emily is better. The only person that is actually interesting, at least to me, is Sylvie. I want the next season to be 'Sylvie in Paris'
Not to mention slavic people are discriminated against in the West. Most slavic immigrants have college degrees (because most slavic countries have free university education) and yet consistently end up working in service or get paid less than their white counterparts. So let's make fun of these people! I guess they felt like "people say our racism was not good... well, let's do xenophobia then! I mean we can't possibly build comedy out of anything else but racial/nationality stereotypes".
@@jenny-mouri2890 im sure theres many french movies that speak bad of americans its not a big deal and the actors are actually french so if they dont care why should you
They also majorly stereotype Americans literally ALL THE TIME. It's not personal. Is it in poor taste? Yes. Should they be called out for it? Yes. Does it make the show horrible? No.
@@REDnBLACKnRED Yup, I'm french, me and my friends watch the show because we find ridiculously funny the clichés vs clichés on both sides. We're sad they haven't solved (yet) the Camille-Gabriel-Emily situation with a menage à 3 because what would be more " "french" " in a foreigner POV??? France is disappointed. (RIP the Ukrainian girl character though, her only trait was "thief")
Mindy's costuming annoyed me so much this season. She's so broke she can't help Emily with rent but she's walking around in high fashion suits and dresses?
I mean, sis would be able to keep her clothes from before she was cut off, no? Her designer fits make way more sense than Emily's. Mindy belongs to the one percent of the one percent. Just because her dad doesn't pay her bills anymore, doesn't mean she was gonna be looking broke like the rest of us.
As a European, I’d just like to say that their portrayal of the only eastern European character, Ukrainian Petra, is as bad as if they made a show in America, had one black character and made her the bad guy. In Europe, sadly, there’s a lot of stigma towards ex-soviet countries. Imagine if France made ‘Émilie aux etats unis’. In the first season they portray all the Americans as stupid, fat, uneducated and impolite. In the second season they introduce the only black character, and she steals from a store. That’s Emily in Paris through European eyes.
@@nostalgia545 No, i mean, i like it too. not because it’s good, but because it’s entertaining. i just wanted to translate european norms and stereotypes to people from other parts of the world.
The Old Hollywood angle--or any vintage/historical fashion style would A) achieve the fish-out-of-water/sore-thumb aesthetic B) would feed into her studious/serious persona and C) mesh better with her Midwest background, because vintage fashion is more accessible than high fashion here (thrifting is a lot less competitive here than New York) Also, you can use the 'its thrifted!' excuse for the budget
Plus then they could lean into the Audrey Hepburn connection more since one of her defining films Sabrina literally has her going from chauffeur's daughter/poorly dress hick to couture clad goddess after going to Paris for cooking school.
and it would go along with the American idea of what French fashion is, by seeing it as an old Hollywood classic movie or the 1920’s expats you learn about in school
I think it would make sense for Emily if she had a working closet and a free time closet. In season 1 we're told that she used to work in PR for pharmacy. She would be required to dress businesslike to not scare away the clients. Also it would explain why she would dress so bold and over the top in her free time because then she could experience with fashion and enjoy some fun clothes.
@@moonlily1 and even then there’s still a line of practicality in my experience. Like, ok a blazer with a unique cut and floral inner lining? Sure. Shirt with ruffles instead of just plain button up? Yea ok. But let’s be real, the clashing colors and awful shape language is never gonna get your hired by any creative department worth its salt.
I thought Emily’s bad/bizarre fashion is supposed to be a commentary that Emily actually know nothing about fashion, but she’s wearing what she thinks is chic. I have no idea how they can explain her being able to afford designer clothes.
I agree, I thought Emily's style is meant to show that Americans are typically tacky and don't have good fashion sense. Especially paired with Mindy's extra style... The two American girls who think they are chic and fashionable but totally flop.
@@katarinasavic2697 thats what i assumed since the other characters were well dressed ( luc,julien, sylvie) though i disagree about mindy because she isnt american and her style is purposefully kitschy and maximalistic which in my opinion she pulls off.
@@katarinasavic2697 they should have played up the tackiness , when i heard madeline call emily chic i choked. But I guess great minds think alike. Nice talking to you.
@@hira2357 yikes. Sorry I was trying to be gender inclusive by saying “ladies, theydies,and gents”, but I didn’t know theydies was offensive.Upon some research, I realize it isn’t as inclusive as I meant. So I’m really sorry about that everyone! 😰
Yes I'm glad u talked about how Emily is from the Midwest coming to Paris, and how her fashion should reflect that! I noticed that too cuz I thought it was interesting that they specifically wrote her as being from Chicago rather than NYC or LA. But you gave a great analysis for it!
ive never seen this show and despite watching numerous reviews for fun, i never knew this until reading your comment! man the writing room for this series isnt very good
Netflix likes to have character he from Chicago for no reason. Like Vanessa Hudgens in the Christmas Switch lol. She literally just wears a hat that says Chicago. Not even from one of our sports teams. It’s like a tourist hat?
Midwest girlie who wears bright colors and patterns and people act like I stepped off a space ship. In Miami, though, people would just go about their business or give a compliment.
@Rachel Forshee Tokyo street fashion is highly excessive too. Pop of colors and large silhouettes are ideal and coaxed, just like some of Emily’s wardrobe choices. But, unlike Emily, the layering of Tokyo (generally, Japanese) street fashion articles are actually based around personality or story-just highly exaggerated and pronounced. They’re kind of like art pieces. Meanwhile, Emily’s choices are just like “I saw these pieces layered on a Pinterest post, I think it’s chic.”
Totally agree. Gabriel is the real villain. Camille was betrayed and lost. And she was manipulated by her mom to do a revenge. Also Gabriel really has a personality of a cardboard. He’s so boring. I don’t understand why the writers make the girls fight over him. They should move on from this useless love triangle.
I think that while the show did better in many aspects, the sequence where the only Ukrainian character in the show, Petrah shoplifts is absolutely disgusting. It is the only thing she does, she never reappears, it's purely to make a mockery of Ukrainian women.
@Hanna Ciszewska Because Americans will never care about it. They only marginally care about a small number of issues, they have to be American in some way and it can't be more things. Right now their pet project is transness. Everything's currently transphobic. Issues that affect strictly women aren't important and most of them don't care about privilege or lack there of if it isn't in an American context. A pretty white woman to them is always privileged. They should care about these non American issues because they want to portray people who aren't Americans in their media.
@@Maialeen I agree americans live in a bubble, but don’t we all. I imagine you wouldn’t be educated on oppression in other countries and I wouldn’t blame you for it unless you didn’t change your actions once learning about it. and there’s no doubt that this stereotypical depiction was wrong and actually reflects a bigger issue of how ukrainians and eastern europeans are represented. I wasn’t even aware of it until i read these comments !! however I think it’s good transgender people are finally getting some discussion surrounding how badly and dangerously they are treated. transgender people live all across the world so this isn’t just an american issue, and talking about one issue doesn’t mean you can’t care about another. I’m kind of confused by the second part of your point.
French people are afraid of colors and prints ???? Where did they find that information ?? I'm french and i can tell you we like bold pieces, we just have taste unlike emily
emily in paris is already so chaotic and questionable, and the directors anyway decide to throw in a shoplifting slavic woman...like, how did they come up putting her there? why is she shoplifting? why is she from ukraine? that just doesn't make sense. but if it wasn't so offensive, i would ne okay with this;it's just that i, as a russian girl, also feel frustrated about insulting my fellow slavic people😓
Thank you for mentioning how stereotypicaly the show displayed Ukrainian woman! I am a Ukrainian and to me what they did looks very offensive and inconsiderate.
The men being alcoholics wouldnt be far from the truth tho lol either alcoholics or overly-religious, don't come for me, I know the men of my culture. Theres probably only 500 slavic men worth their salt.
The only Ukrainian girl I know is an engineer in machine learning at Facebook (we used to work together). She’s intelligent, curious, kind, fun-loving and the most fashionable. She always wants to give people opportunities to grow. That’s my impression on Ukrainian girl and I’m sticking to it.
@@Pomagranite167 yeah but the problem is that the only time they are included in movie or show, they are only shown as those stereotypes, they are not real characters, just stereotypes. It's very harmful
For me, if the clothing is too unrealistic it takes me out of the story. Clothes are an essential part of the story telling, and of course you want it to look good, but you want the clothes to support the story you are telling, not contradict it. I'm also sick of the word "aspirational" is euphemism for "disconnected from reality" as if that justifies betraying the whole story you're trying to tell. The story we're being told is that Emily doesn't have a background in fashion, isn't very knowledable or passionate about it, isn't a primary interest of hers. But the story we're seeing onscreen is the story of a person wearing runway clothing and highly editorial looks that don't make sense in real life, who spends a lot of time getting dressed every day, who spends a disproportionate amount of her income in clothes such that she ought to be starving and having her phone cut off, and spends a large amount of time shopping even though we're told that Emily works nonstop. These are two completely different stories, a giant clash between what we're being told vs. what we are shown. Personally, I think Emily's clothes are eye-bleedingly ugly. The individual pieces are very chic, but the way they're put together is, as the character notes, silly, and as you note, unprofessional. They don't make sense for her setting, her background, or her personality, and they also DON'T LOOK GOOD. She reminds me of Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous (or Bubble at her worst moments). But Edina looked that way on purpose to communicate that Eddie is a ridiculous person, and Emily is not supposed to be ridiculous.
@@ashleymichelle1195 I love how you think that having something thoughtful to say is a shortcoming, and invested a half hour to watch a video criticizing a show so you can tell people that it's wrong to criticize the show. It's just a comment, either read it don't.
@@cloflomonster It would make more sense if Emily didn't used to dress overly fashion-forward and ended up dressing silly because she was trying to be high fashion to conform to her new career and was just failing at it because she doesn't really understand it yet. It's less sensible that she arrived looking like an extremely expensive clown.
Also if she is wearing such expensive pieces, I would’ve love to see this ”almost bankrupt” problems time to time like, ”oh I can’t eat lunch with you, I spent 500e on a bag couple days ago and I’m broke again”. I would’ve love to see Emily go to places for free and pinching pennies here and there, showing how she saves, it could’ve been a running gag that she’s actually terrible with money.
Being someone who watches Emily in paris as a dirty treat , i was physically REPULSED by the bucket hat combination with the otherwise reasonably nice outfit. I had to pause the show and just absorb what i was seeing. Iconic and disturbing I cant even be mad 😭😭😭
@@mariashaki89 DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MOTOR GLOVES ?? Wearing leather gloves in a Parisian summer ?? Do you want to get the sweatiest hands imaginable?? Atleast i know why she had those abominations on
I have not and will not watch Season 2, but based on what you mentioned about the Ukrainian stereotypes, I think it’s clear that the writers of this show are not equipped to talk about cultural differences. Whether they’re stereotyping the French, Chinese, Ukrainians or even Americans, they do not seem to have done the work of uncovering and resolving their personal biases and assumptions. Sad that they get such a large audience to dump this ignorance onto.
as a French woman I think that there are always so many stereotypes in the serie. We do not have this vision of the couple at all and with sex in general. And unfortunately France is not just about fashion. Paris is certainly the capital of fashion, but foreigners themselves convey so many false clichés about us that when they come here, they are disappointed. It displeases me to see that any American production captures true French culture. I love your video by the way, as always. 🥰
@@gyro4705 Vraiment? Vous avez aimé la série ? (Je ne vous juge pas) J'aimerais entendre les opinions de quelqu'un qui aime la série. Édit : désolée pour mon français, je ne suis pas française
That is very true. I went to Paris 10 years ago and disappointment was exactly the feeling I felt. All because I was expecting the Paris of so many movies and clearly it either no longer existed or it was never even there.
So. My headcannon. She is initially supposed to be 23 instead of 29. In my universe she still is, she has a masters because she is from a very very stupidly wealthy family, hasn’t worked a day in her live and didn’t encounter any difficulties like EVER. Her Job, and she being „so good at it“? You wouldnt criticize her, she’s the daughter of XYZ! Of corse sehe wears Chanel, but i mean, who doesn’t? And now that she received her first paycheck, she realizes; Oh my that bag costs as much as i would make in a month!
That sounds so much better and correlates with what we see in the show. Sadly they didn't care to build her background, or at least let us know, besides where she used to work, her boss and her ex-boyfriend.
"from a very very stupidly wealthy family, hasn’t worked a day in her live and didn’t encounter any difficulties like EVER." ~ Agree. Like maybe 'Cooper' as in 'Cooper Car Company' Coopers. {I know they can't use a real family but just to make the point.}
Great analysis! I totally agree, why do they want to pitch Emily and Camille against each other? We don’t need anymore of those love triangle love lines. Yes and yes! You can have escapism with some realism. And the fashion show was confusing to me as well, I think they just wanted to “shock” and be “different” and executed the fashion part poorly and not realistic at all.
It would have been so cool if Camille and Emily had a big „getting back together as friends“ and them starting to trust each other again.. AND both of them ditching Gabriel in a huge scene where they show what a jackass he is
I’m honestly a big fan of the idea that Emily is so ‘ignorant’ that she’s buying these designer clothes because she thinks that other people will be impressed or something. Or that she saw a picture of Audrey Hepburn on a magazine and just copied it or something
I was literally screaming with rage watching the second season. If I had to see one more hideous belt and motorcycle gloves with her outfits. Like whyyyyyyy and why did they have to do Camille dirty like that. Her wardrobe was so good the first season but this time it was so frumpy. Ugh it was just a mess
In regards to Camille I really think that Emily is the actual villan. Not only did she sleep with Camilles long term boyfriend but she slept with her underage brother and took his virginity and is the reason why her father lost the tip of his finger. She then runs after Camille and apologises but honestly if Camille never wanted to speak to her again, I’d understand. Also, she leads Gabriel on for half the season and then gets with Alfie for the other half in front of Gabriel. If Gabriel moves on and gives Camille another shot, I understand because Emily shut him down multiple times. I just hated how the show made it seem like Emily made “quirky mistakes” and did “acts of passion and love”. She trampled all over Camille and then was offended that Camille was mad.
She didn't know he was underage and Camille's father is a fool who was opening bottle like that for ages, everyone in the family says that something like that should happen one day. Character of Emily has too much problems already. no need we throw more trash
But Camille wasn't great either. When she found that Gabriel cheated on her with Emily and Emily had betrayed her, she was hurt and upset at first but then she was all like 'Oh you slept with my boyfriend but we're still friends'
Mina! Please do a style analysis of Seinfeld! I know that sounds weird but their style is much more than meets the eye. For example, the character of Elaine was apparently the first to have her own safe on set full of just jewelry. Not costume jewelry either! Real jewelry.
I really appreciated that they had significantly more scenes between the French characters speaking exclusively in French (and speaking French to each other around Emily). Definitely felt like there was more of an effort to make characters less Americentric and have more of a presence outside of their relationship to Emily.
Do we have to "praise" a show for fixing some stuff that they did awful just because we point it out for them? Is almost like we are doing the job for the writers and they just take note of the comments... I don't know, I'm conflicted about this.
yeah a lot of people have been praising the show and the producers like Lily Collins for "listening to the audience" and "making changes", calling them "good people" for that. Which is really weird considering how it's the exact same team who OK-ed all the racism, xenophobia, and stereotyping from season 1 in the first place. You shouldn't be praising people for changing stuff that shouldn't have been there at all. It really says a lot about the producers of this show that they needed to have it spelled out for them by the entire audience and industry that it's not okay to be racist. I get that if someone is a fan of the show (even in a guilty pleasure/ escapism kind of way) then they have to be ok with shallowness to some degree (cos... the entire show is shallow as hell), but Jesus Christ. When are we gonna stop romanticising doing the bare minimum?
I just love how we've yet to see Emily's closet in her tiny apartment, but she has a clown car of clothes/accessories. Her bedroom would be a mess as she looks for outfits every day but we have no evidence of her fashion obsession. We have more evidence of her food obsession in her messy kitchen. I repeat outfits like crazy and even I have 2 clothing racks of clothes, a dresser, 2 small closests full of clothes, and let me not get started on the fact that this is after I swapped out my summer wardrope for my winter/moderate weather clothing. So where is this woman putting her brand new daily outfits? Let me just assume she has one of those designer clothing subscriptions where she sends everything back, even though it's all perfectly tailored, before I burst a brain cell lol.
Mina, I'm glad you brought up the Slavophobic portrayal of the Ukrainian woman. It honestly feels to me like Slavo-/Russophobia (since Ukraine and Russia are the same to Americans) is considered acceptable among a lot of people who otherwise claim to care about bigotry & making media more progressive. Like I've seen whole videos pointing out seemingly every criticism they can make of this season in terms of representation and not bring up the Ukrainian character at all. I think this is because Americans tend to see absolutely everything about ethnicity through the lens of skin color (which is not the paradigm in many places), so they see Slavic peoples as "white" and therefore the entire effing Cold War never happened and it's acceptable to use them as a punching bag...or rather, the Cold War did happen and that's *why* it's ok to use them as a punching bag. And with that attitude, the writers thought, as they tried to make the show more sensitive, that it wouldn't get any backlash to show a stereotypical Eastern European woman as a "joke." But there's a long, long history of the US and Western Europe as seeing people from Eastern Europe/Eurasia as extremely "othered," and Americans are so used to this that many don't even notice that it's offensive. The US ruling class has been propagating offensive stereotypes about Russians and other Slavic people, especially women, since the mid 20th century at least - for example, after WWII, when they wanted American women to leave the factories and go home and have babies, they created this image of Soviet women as burly and mannish, to try to make it seem like a bad thing that they worked in factories or even had highly educated jobs like being doctors and scientists. The stereotypes have changed over time, but they always have political reasons behind them.
Oh my good thank you! That isn’t too asked enough! Where I live there are a lot of Slavic people like Polish, Ukrainian, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, etc. And a lot of people don’t treat them well. As well we don’t talk about the genocides that Slavs faced like the Holodomor, the Katyń Massacre, and the Canadian Internment Camps of Ukrainians, to name a few.
Your series commentaries are my fav! Would love to see a euphoria and outer banks commentary! (I feel like they are the only shows of the last five years to have had any impact on fashion)
I'm confused as to why most people view Camille's actions as revenge against Emily instead of her allowing herself to work through her feelings for Gabriel, which is how I viewed it. Sis had invested five years into this relationship and admitted to her mother that she still loved him. The pact seemed more like Camille taking Emily out of the game so that she could focus on mending her relationship with Gabriel rather than revenge against Emily. Was Camille appearing in Gabriel's apartment at the end meant to be a twist?
As a Ukrainian, I was so excited to actually hear my language this season. I honestly wasn't even taken aback when her character arc went south. This show just underperforms on every level.
I jump when I heard:"I know people in France are really, really afraid and scared about colors, about print". As a French woman, I can say "No we are not afraid of colours or print, we do love them and know how to coordinate them". Gods, I hate these assumptions. Also thank you for this review that comforts me to watch this show.
Right! I'm not Parisian but I love the fashion and magazines and they're really bold when it comes to combine different patterns, always remembering that you can't get both colors and differently pattern combined in the same outfit or your harmony will be destroyed.
I don't think the bar for "better" was very high. Like I'd give season 1 a 1/10 and season 2 a 2/10. Season 2 addressed a lot of stuff, but I felt it did so in a surface-level way. Alfie felt like a token character meant as a direct writer's response to season 1 complaints (although, I will give the writer this, the scene of Gabriel deliberately overfeeding him to cockblock Emily did actually make me laugh a bit). Also ... the Ukrainian women stereotype was painful.
That purple Valentino dress she wore when on vacation was absolutely BEAUTIFUL but retails 10.000!!!!! How in the word would she even be able to RENT it?
Thanks for the video! I like all the fashion analyses, this is my comforting content As a ukrainian, I was so tired of looking at them using all the trashy stereotypes about slavic women in the plot, I coulnd't keep watching. But I learned everything i needed from you hahah
It’s funny because when you actually go to places like Paris, the people there only where sneakers and comfortable shoes because of how much they walk. And they make it look chic and put together. High heels out and about feels very American imo
That’s true. Even when I wore sneakers there, the fashion sort without much support, my feet felt nearly fractured by the end of the day after so much walking! I couldn’t begin to imagine the suffering that would occur as a result of wearing heels for as long. On the Metro I saw an older man of about 60, who wore a super stylish outfit including a pristine hat and sneakers. Many residents wore sneakers, but he stood out for me the most.
this made me look through your uploads to see if you talked about The Bold Type's fashion. i didn't make it through the whole show, but i would love to hear you talk about the costume/fashion choices. (and it's got the female friendship you were looking for)
@@dianana7371 for me it's hit or miss, some outfits i love. But i gave analyzed it the way mina does in terms of characterization and everything, and it would be fun to imo
Audrey Hepburn Typically wore minimal patterns so if they showed her watching old movies set in Paris then incorporating costume elements from those movies into her wardrobe that would be a nice character development hint
Mina-I have been hopeful and patiently waiting for a possible, “Emily In Paris Season 2 Review,” from you. Thank you for filming this even if you weren’t particularly interested in doing season two after you watched season one. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the wonderful work! ❤️
One of the best reviews of this show and season I've seen. Thanks for expressing your thoughts which I think a lot of us wholeheartedly agree with. Glad you touched on the negative stereotype for the Ukrainian character and that "fashion" show at the end! In no way believable or interesting (and thanks for mentioning that all the "looks" were basically the same). They used Versailles as a background for this "merde"! Oh la la, no way! So many things wrong and thanks for your insightful and sweet review! Love your videos. p.s. and yes if Emily loved fashion, why on earth would she have Alfie rip it off? They really didn't build any chemistry, passion, urgency in this pairing and, for me, there was a lack of any kind of buy in to the relationship.
I love how literally no one pronounces the title of the show the way they intended. I'm not being sarcastic, I actually find it really funny. I don't watch the show btw, the first episode put me off forever.
Because em-ELEE in Pair-REE is literally SO cringe there would be no reason to even ironically watch this show without hating America for thinking that was clever in 2022
i think netflix here is in the wrong lmao if they wanted people to say it in french they should've named it ''Emily à Paris'', the ''in'' suggests that the title is in English
Definitely liked the changes they made - like the French characters speaking in French when Emily wasn't there! I also thought Mindy's wardrobe made no sense for her story this season. Also, Alfie was so arrogant and annoying and just so unlikeable!
I'm from Paris and the amount of colorful outfits depends on the neighborhood you're in. But in the office, people do generally wear neutral colors, I'll give them that... Emily looks like the mad hatter though
Mina I totally agree on your stance that the Emily in Paris love triangle is bad and that Gabriel is THE WORST. But I think very idea of love triangles as “trope” is not the issue here. I highly recommend TH-camr Julia Cudney’s vid “A fervent defense of love triangles” because it’s SO good. Love your work Mina!
hey! i'm again here suggesting a review of 'euphoria'... the costume designer (heidi bivens) did an interesting work and i think a lot of us 'beautiful doves' would like to watch it ;) ps: i'm still in love with "teeth as a fashion statement"! lol keep up with the great work~
The difference between Emily and Gabriel is that she was actually going to tell Camille what she had done. In my opinion Emily should have told her as soon as it happened but she didn’t and that was wrong, but Gabriel can’t even own up to it.
Does anyone else really want Mina to review kpop fashion specifically album concepts and live performances fashion? I love how in dept Mina explains everything and when she details how she would personally dress different people/characters I think it’s a good insight into her own perspective. Also since kpop is mainly done in groups I think it’ll be interesting to see how she would style them individually while following a theme of course.
RIP to all my fellow midwest girls / anyone who lives in the so called "fly over" states who high key got shaded for our fashion. We always getting shitted on by everyone but its okay cause people who actually live in these states know that lots of us can turn a fucking look 😭😭 Like I know tons of girls at my college and throughout my state that look like models that were professionally dressed. One day we will get some respect from the fashion girls.
The Midwest will never get any respect until we do our own thing loud and proud instead of trying to imitate the coasts, which too many Midwesterners still do
Girl I live in the south, and yeah I can't say where I live is even close to being the fashion capital of the US. Still like this city though, will miss it if I end up needing to move 😊
One thing that bothered me about the fashion show ending was the models’ clothes. It kind of reminded me of that Moschino collection and Savage x Fenty because of the Rococo dresses and dancing models of various body types. But like you said the designer was better dressed than the models! Like leagues better. Not to mention Pierre’s rivalry outfit was also better than anything the models wore as well. Also some of the shape wear didn’t match the models’ skin tones! Like that beige is supposed to be nude right? So why put it on a dark skinned model? Also give more room for the models to dance than that tiny runway if you’re showing the clothes’ mobility. I’m sure there were budget reasons for these decisions but maybe cut Emily’s hat budget to make it make sense? (I’d cut out the gloves but since Patricia Fields is making money off the biker gloves I know that’s not gonna happen.)
i like the old hollywood fashion route! it emphasises the “american” aspect of emily’s character while also being chic, as opposed to the “gauche american in bright bold styles that the french are too afraid to do” route they seem to be going for
I've never watched Emily in Paris and honestly never plan to at this point from what I've seen, BUT Mina never misses the mark in her fashion analyses (and even plot analyses)!! 🔥
It's very ominous to me that a big Netflix show would suddenly choose to vilify the only Ukrainian character I've ever seen them portray right when Russia is positioning itself to invade. It's very worrying and makes me wonder who's funding whom.
that makes no sense lmao, they are two separate issues. netflix and other western media have portrayed slavic characters as a whole negatively since forever, the director just happened to target ukrainian women for emily in paris. oh yeah the russian government is totally paying off a random netflix show to perpetuate xenophobic stereotypes associated with eastern europeans/slavs.
I still think Emily’s outfits are like grown up and expensive Disney channel outfits from the 2000s/2010s.
that makes sense. the main demografic of this show probably isn't people in their mid 20s to 30s, but teens who see this as a Cool Grown Up fantasy, like how kids would watch disney shows as a Cool Teen Fantasy
Damn, that’s spot on.
Oh god that’s a horrifyingly perfect description of the clothes
@ASB no the demographics for EIP is actually abive 30 mostly above 40 actually lol. Young adults are the one who despise the show
@@Girl_from_Redgrave I am pretty sure they were aiming for people in their 20's just by looking at season 1 but it is obviously made by people who have no idea what people in 20's live like. Just look at the social media plot line, definitely something a person in 40's think influencer is like.
I feel like they really could’ve done something with the whole “dressing like Aubrey Hepburn in a French movie” thing. Like, they could’ve made it into a metaphor for how Emily is interested in French culture, but only knows it thru an American lens? Idk I feel like there’s something there they can expand on...
Oooh, good take!
So true! I honestly hate how they've made her character so ditzy
That's actually brilliant!
Camille had so much potential as a character, but then they made her turn nasty this season to make Emily seem better by comparison. I can understand her wanting revenge on Emily for cheating with Gabriel, but it takes TWO people to commit adultery, not one. And ultimately, she looked weak for taking Gabriel back after all that!
It could be rape, then it would be 2 sins.
She only took him back to get back at Emily, she's pretty much over him. It's just another stupid cliched female rivalry over a crappy man who doesn't have the balls to be honest to his girlfriend about what he truly wants.
Camille went from one of the few likeable characters to one of the worst, like being Gabriel´s ex was her whole defyning trait
I would’ve liked more this season if the plot was about Camille and Emily realizing is not worth ruining their friendship over a guy that doesn’t know what he wants, and them working to get their friendship back also Gabriel making amends for forgiveness from the two of them.
And maybe at the end the 3 of them back as friends again, or him leaving the city so the storyline moves to something else more interesting than 2 girls fighting over a guy. Idk 🤷🏻♂️
totally agree. I get emily needs a block to getting with gabriel now that she’s staying in paris (well, presumably) but it makes no sense for camille to take back a cheater and a liar, even if it’s to rub it into emily but even then too much commitment for revenge?

Mina, thank you for mentioning Petra. It's so triggering seeing everyone else ignoring the issue. I think many westerners do not understand the discrimination that eastern Europeans face: we are seen as inferior, it's much deeper than just "a stereotype".
We are denied jobs, we get told that we are whores, that we're thieves constantly. These portrayals in media, as subtle as they may seem, pay a HUGE role in how people will then treat us in real life.
I think it's hard for Americans to understand it, because we're white-- but the truth is that racism and xenophobia are much different in Europe. Being pale doesn't save you from being called subhuman, and people will make sure to tell you that your culture is wrong, or that you shouldn't speak your language in public.
We're tired of being shown this way in media, because it's not only American TV doing this.
And I say triggering because I have experienced so much discrimination as a Slavic woman, even by random people in the street. Seeing people say that the whole Petra thing is no big deal is a huge slap in the face, and it feels like it validates all the ignorant people who i had to deal with

I’m fairly certain Lily Collins can speak French, so it’s a shame they don’t use that skill in this show.

I don't get why you want everyone to be friends again. This ain't care bear universe. Camille should have cussed them out and left their sorry asses to be together.

The friendship was ruined the moment Emily decided to get emotionally involved with Gabriel and sleep with him. Camille should have moved on from both of them.
Oh well. She's still better than Emily.

Why is Gabriel supposed to be a love interest? The man is a cheater. I don't care if it's the hottest man God created, if a man cheats so casually as he has he becomes greasy garbage in my eyes.

Not to mention slavic people are discriminated against in the West. Most slavic immigrants have college degrees (because most slavic countries have free university education) and yet consistently end up working in service or get paid less than their white counterparts.

As a European, I’d just like to say that their portrayal of the only eastern European character, Ukrainian Petra, is as bad as if they made a show in America, had one black character and made her the bad guy. In Europe, sadly, there’s a lot of stigma towards ex-soviet countries.
Imagine if France made ‘Émilie aux etats unis’. In the first season they portray all the Americans as stupid, fat, uneducated and impolite. In the second season they introduce the only black character, and she steals from a store.
That’s Emily in Paris through European eyes.
I know the show isn’t correct in terms of anything, but I still really like it. It’s fun and it makes me happy and in a good mood after I watch it.
@@nostalgia545 No, i mean, i like it too. not because it’s good, but because it’s entertaining. i just wanted to translate european norms and stereotypes to people from other parts of the world.
Thanks for the analogy and making it easier to understand for Americans!
I enjoy the show a lot, but I completely agree. I was very disappointed by what they did with Petra
@@jentlesites I think it's worth reading Ivy Uzun's comment (one of the top voted, has a heart from the author) in full
The Old Hollywood angle--or any vintage/historical fashion style would
A) achieve the fish-out-of-water/sore-thumb aesthetic
B) would feed into her studious/serious persona and
C) mesh better with her Midwest background, because vintage fashion is more accessible than high fashion here (thrifting is a lot less competitive here than New York)
Also, you can use the 'its thrifted!' excuse for the budget
and still it needs to be backed up by her character having some interest in old hollywood style, the dissonance she has rn is just mind melting
Would also explain her being an influencer, she'd be an influencer within a particular niche
Plus then they could lean into the Audrey Hepburn connection more since one of her defining films Sabrina literally has her going from chauffeur's daughter/poorly dress hick to couture clad goddess after going to Paris for cooking school.
Yeah they used thrifting in SATC to do the same thing - agree
and it would go along with the American idea of what French fashion is, by seeing it as an old Hollywood classic movie or the 1920’s expats you learn about in school
so the season 2 finale fashion show was basically the "just glue stuff on a body suit and hope you are not in the bottom 2 of rupauls drag race"

I think it would make sense for Emily if she had a working closet and a free time closet. In season 1 we're told that she used to work in PR for pharmacy. She would be required to dress businesslike to not scare away the clients. Also it would explain why she would dress so bold and over the top in her free time because then she could experience with fashion and enjoy some fun clothes.
Yes, the general advice to job seekers is not to dress "quirky" unless you are applying specifically for a creative position.
@@moonlily1 and even then there’s still a line of practicality in my experience. Like, ok a blazer with a unique cut and floral inner lining? Sure. Shirt with ruffles instead of just plain button up? Yea ok.
But let’s be real, the clashing colors and awful shape language is never gonna get your hired by any creative department worth its salt.
I thought Emily’s bad/bizarre fashion is supposed to be a commentary that Emily actually know nothing about fashion, but she’s wearing what she thinks is chic. I have no idea how they can explain her being able to afford designer clothes.
They could have referenced Devil Wears Prada for a clue because that movie gave Andrea a hand by loaning her clothes from the magazine.
I agree, I thought Emily's style is meant to show that Americans are typically tacky and don't have good fashion sense. Especially paired with Mindy's extra style... The two American girls who think they are chic and fashionable but totally flop.
@@katarinasavic2697 thats what i assumed since the other characters were well dressed ( luc,julien, sylvie) though i disagree about mindy because she isnt american and her style is purposefully kitschy and maximalistic which in my opinion she pulls off.

Netflix likes to have character he from Chicago for no reason. Like Vanessa Hudgens in the Christmas Switch lol. She literally just wears a hat that says Chicago. Not even from one of our sports teams. It’s like a tourist hat?
Yeah nobody in Chicago dresses like that. Also, Chicago is not known for fashion.
She’d stick out in Chicago with her fashion choices. Especially season one Emily.
Midwest girlie who wears bright colors and patterns and people act like I stepped off a space ship. In Miami, though, people would just go about their business or give a compliment.
Honestly I go to school half an hour from Chicago and I am the only person at my college to dress even mildly alternative from the mainstream
@@karisap i think that has more to do with being a college student and less about being a Chicago transplant
@Rachel Forshee Tokyo street fashion is highly excessive too. Pop of colors and large silhouettes are ideal and coaxed, just like some of Emily’s wardrobe choices. But, unlike Emily, the layering of Tokyo (generally, Japanese) street fashion articles are actually based around personality or story-just highly exaggerated and pronounced. They’re kind of like art pieces. Meanwhile, Emily’s choices are just like “I saw these pieces layered on a Pinterest post, I think it’s chic.”
Totally agree. Gabriel is the real villain. Camille was betrayed and lost. And she was manipulated by her mom to do a revenge. Also Gabriel really has a personality of a cardboard. He’s so boring. I don’t understand why the writers make the girls fight over him. They should move on from this useless love triangle.
I think that while the show did better in many aspects, the sequence where the only Ukrainian character in the show, Petrah shoplifts is absolutely disgusting. It is the only thing she does, she never reappears, it's purely to make a mockery of Ukrainian women.
Yes, it's disgusting. Xenophobia in it's finest. I really don't understand why no one is trying to cancel the show over it???
@@hanna.ciszewska I don't think people take xenophobia to europeans very seriously, speaking as an outsider
@Hanna Ciszewska Because Americans will never care about it. They only marginally care about a small number of issues, they have to be American in some way and it can't be more things. Right now their pet project is transness. Everything's currently transphobic. Issues that affect strictly women aren't important and most of them don't care about privilege or lack there of if it isn't in an American context. A pretty white woman to them is always privileged. They should care about these non American issues because they want to portray people who aren't Americans in their media.
@@Maialeen I agree americans live in a bubble, but don’t we all. I imagine you wouldn’t be educated on oppression in other countries and I wouldn’t blame you for it unless you didn’t change your actions once learning about it. and there’s no doubt that this stereotypical depiction was wrong and actually reflects a bigger issue of how ukrainians and eastern europeans are represented. I wasn’t even aware of it until i read these comments !!
however I think it’s good transgender people are finally getting some discussion surrounding how badly and dangerously they are treated. transgender people live all across the world so this isn’t just an american issue, and talking about one issue doesn’t mean you can’t care about another. I’m kind of confused by the second part of your point.

emily in paris is already so chaotic and questionable, and the directors anyway decide to throw in a shoplifting slavic woman...like, how did they come up putting her there? why is she shoplifting? why is she from ukraine? that just doesn't make sense. but if it wasn't so offensive, i would ne okay with this;it's just that i, as a russian girl, also feel frustrated about insulting my fellow slavic people😓

Yes, stereotyping always is.
The men being alcoholics wouldnt be far from the truth tho lol either alcoholics or overly-religious, don't come for me, I know the men of my culture. Theres probably only 500 slavic men worth their salt.
The only Ukrainian girl I know is an engineer in machine learning at Facebook (we used to work together). She’s intelligent, curious, kind, fun-loving and the most fashionable. She always wants to give people opportunities to grow. That’s my impression on Ukrainian girl and I’m sticking to it.
@@Pomagranite167 yeah but the problem is that the only time they are included in movie or show, they are only shown as those stereotypes, they are not real characters, just stereotypes. It's very harmful
For me, if the clothing is too unrealistic it takes me out of the story. Clothes are an essential part of the story telling, and of course you want it to look good, but you want the clothes to support the story you are telling, not contradict it. I'm also sick of the word "aspirational" is euphemism for "disconnected from reality" as if that justifies betraying the whole story you're trying to tell. The story we're being told is that Emily doesn't have a background in fashion, isn't very knowledable or passionate about it, isn't a primary interest of hers. But the story we're seeing onscreen is the story of a person wearing runway clothing and highly editorial looks that don't make sense in real life, who spends a lot of time getting dressed every day, who spends a disproportionate amount of her income in clothes such that she ought to be starving and having her phone cut off, and spends a large amount of time shopping even though we're told that Emily works nonstop. These are two completely different stories, a giant clash between what we're being told vs. what we are shown.
Personally, I think Emily's clothes are eye-bleedingly ugly. The individual pieces are very chic, but the way they're put together is, as the character notes, silly, and as you note, unprofessional. They don't make sense for her setting, her background, or her personality, and they also DON'T LOOK GOOD. She reminds me of Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous (or Bubble at her worst moments). But Edina looked that way on purpose to communicate that Eddie is a ridiculous person, and Emily is not supposed to be ridiculous.

yessss to all of that. its giving 2009 disney channel outfits and it's unnecessarily chaotic.
@@cloflomonster It would make more sense if Emily didn't used to dress overly fashion-forward and ended up dressing silly because she was trying to be high fashion to conform to her new career and was just failing at it because she doesn't really understand it yet. It's less sensible that she arrived looking like an extremely expensive clown.
Also if she is wearing such expensive pieces, I would’ve love to see this ”almost bankrupt” problems time to time like, ”oh I can’t eat lunch with you, I spent 500e on a bag couple days ago and I’m broke again”. I would’ve love to see Emily go to places for free and pinching pennies here and there, showing how she saves, it could’ve been a running gag that she’s actually terrible with money.

I have not and will not watch Season 2, but based on what you mentioned about the Ukrainian stereotypes, I think it’s clear that the writers of this show are not equipped to talk about cultural differences. Whether they’re stereotyping the French, Chinese, Ukrainians or even Americans, they do not seem to have done the work of uncovering and resolving their personal biases and assumptions. Sad that they get such a large audience to dump this ignorance onto.
The real question is.. when will Netflix finally hire Mina for fashion reviews BEFORE releasing a season? to prevent disaster u know
as a French woman I think that there are always so many stereotypes in the serie. We do not have this vision of the couple at all and with sex in general. And unfortunately France is not just about fashion. Paris is certainly the capital of fashion, but foreigners themselves convey so many false clichés about us that when they come here, they are disappointed. It displeases me to see that any American production captures true French culture. I love your video by the way, as always. 🥰

I think they made Camille lest fashionable so she wouldnt out shine Emily, like ir happened en season one
So. My headcannon. She is initially supposed to be 23 instead of 29. In my universe she still is, she has a masters because she is from a very very stupidly wealthy family, hasn’t worked a day in her live and didn’t encounter any difficulties like EVER. Her Job, and she being „so good at it“? You wouldnt criticize her, she’s the daughter of XYZ! Of corse sehe wears Chanel, but i mean, who doesn’t? And now that she received her first paycheck, she realizes; Oh my that bag costs as much as i would make in a month!
That sounds so much better and correlates with what we see in the show. Sadly they didn't care to build her background, or at least let us know, besides where she used to work, her boss and her ex-boyfriend.
"from a very very stupidly wealthy family, hasn’t worked a day in her live and didn’t encounter any difficulties like EVER." ~ Agree. Like maybe 'Cooper' as in 'Cooper Car Company' Coopers. {I know they can't use a real family but just to make the point.}
Great analysis!
I totally agree, why do they want to pitch Emily and Camille against each other? We don’t need anymore of those love triangle love lines.
Yes and yes! You can have escapism with some realism. And the fashion show was confusing to me as well, I think they just wanted to “shock” and be “different” and executed the fashion part poorly and not realistic at all.
It would have been so cool if Camille and Emily had a big „getting back together as friends“ and them starting to trust each other again.. AND both of them ditching Gabriel in a huge scene where they show what a jackass he is
@@janakatharina2610 Lmao for real, I’m sick and tired of girls fighting over a bland ass douchebag.

camille’s outfits were a big downgrade this season, where’s that chic parisian girl we knew?
are you trying to tell me that Camille should have been dressed better than Emily? how could you even think that!
There's a theory that cause she's grieving or mourning her happiness/relationship/trust
In regards to Camille I really think that Emily is the actual villan. Not only did she sleep with Camilles long term boyfriend but she slept with her underage brother and took his virginity and is the reason why her father lost the tip of his finger. She then runs after Camille and apologises but honestly if Camille never wanted to speak to her again, I’d understand. Also, she leads Gabriel on for half the season and then gets with Alfie for the other half in front of Gabriel. If Gabriel moves on and gives Camille another shot, I understand because Emily shut him down multiple times. I just hated how the show made it seem like Emily made “quirky mistakes” and did “acts of passion and love”. She trampled all over Camille and then was offended that Camille was mad.
She didn't know he was underage and Camille's father is a fool who was opening bottle like that for ages, everyone in the family says that something like that should happen one day. Character of Emily has too much problems already. no need we throw more trash
But Camille wasn't great either. When she found that Gabriel cheated on her with Emily and Emily had betrayed her, she was hurt and upset at first but then she was all like 'Oh you slept with my boyfriend but we're still friends'
@@lilmissrockchick4962you are justifying Emily behaviour after she slept with Camille bf wow
@@lilmissrockchick4962 uh what? so she is bad for being cheated on?
Mina! Please do a style analysis of Seinfeld! I know that sounds weird but their style is much more than meets the eye. For example, the character of Elaine was apparently the first to have her own safe on set full of just jewelry. Not costume jewelry either! Real jewelry.
I really appreciated that they had significantly more scenes between the French characters speaking exclusively in French (and speaking French to each other around Emily). Definitely felt like there was more of an effort to make characters less Americentric and have more of a presence outside of their relationship to Emily.
Do we have to "praise" a show for fixing some stuff that they did awful just because we point it out for them? Is almost like we are doing the job for the writers and they just take note of the comments... I don't know, I'm conflicted about this.
Agreed, just not conflicted. There's no need to heap praises on those doing the bare minimum and not even that.
Edit: typo
yeah a lot of people have been praising the show and the producers like Lily Collins for "listening to the audience" and "making changes", calling them "good people" for that. Which is really weird considering how it's the exact same team who OK-ed all the racism, xenophobia, and stereotyping from season 1 in the first place. You shouldn't be praising people for changing stuff that shouldn't have been there at all. It really says a lot about the producers of this show that they needed to have it spelled out for them by the entire audience and industry that it's not okay to be racist.
I get that if someone is a fan of the show (even in a guilty pleasure/ escapism kind of way) then they have to be ok with shallowness to some degree (cos... the entire show is shallow as hell), but Jesus Christ. When are we gonna stop romanticising doing the bare minimum?
I just love how we've yet to see Emily's closet in her tiny apartment, but she has a clown car of clothes/accessories. Her bedroom would be a mess as she looks for outfits every day but we have no evidence of her fashion obsession. We have more evidence of her food obsession in her messy kitchen. I repeat outfits like crazy and even I have 2 clothing racks of clothes, a dresser, 2 small closests full of clothes, and let me not get started on the fact that this is after I swapped out my summer wardrope for my winter/moderate weather clothing. So where is this woman putting her brand new daily outfits? Let me just assume she has one of those designer clothing subscriptions where she sends everything back, even though it's all perfectly tailored, before I burst a brain cell lol.

Mina looks so fancy today ( Not a suprise though because she always does )
Mina, I'm glad you brought up the Slavophobic portrayal of the Ukrainian woman. It honestly feels to me like Slavo-/Russophobia (since Ukraine and Russia are the same to Americans) is considered acceptable among a lot of people who otherwise claim to care about bigotry & making media more progressive. Like I've seen whole videos pointing out seemingly every criticism they can make of this season in terms of representation and not bring up the Ukrainian character at all. I think this is because Americans tend to see absolutely everything about ethnicity through the lens of skin color (which is not the paradigm in many places), so they see Slavic peoples as "white" and therefore the entire effing Cold War never happened and it's acceptable to use them as a punching bag...or rather, the Cold War did happen and that's *why* it's ok to use them as a punching bag. And with that attitude, the writers thought, as they tried to make the show more sensitive, that it wouldn't get any backlash to show a stereotypical Eastern European woman as a "joke." But there's a long, long history of the US and Western Europe as seeing people from Eastern Europe/Eurasia as extremely "othered," and Americans are so used to this that many don't even notice that it's offensive.
The US ruling class has been propagating offensive stereotypes about Russians and other Slavic people, especially women, since the mid 20th century at least - for example, after WWII, when they wanted American women to leave the factories and go home and have babies, they created this image of Soviet women as burly and mannish, to try to make it seem like a bad thing that they worked in factories or even had highly educated jobs like being doctors and scientists. The stereotypes have changed over time, but they always have political reasons behind them.
Oh my good thank you! That isn’t too asked enough! Where I live there are a lot of Slavic people like Polish, Ukrainian, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, etc. And a lot of people don’t treat them well. As well we don’t talk about the genocides that Slavs faced like the Holodomor, the Katyń Massacre, and the Canadian Internment Camps of Ukrainians, to name a few.
Was in the middle of writing my dissertation and then got this notification. Clicked straight away, I know my priorities
Can you do a video on the cultural accuracy of the clothes in Encanto like you did for Raya and the Last Dragon? Love your videos!
Oh gosh, I'd love that. A deep dive into historical Colombian attire? Yes please!
Hi Mina, great video as usual, and stunning look. Could you do a review of Vilannelle's looks in Killing Eve ? Please ! I love your videos so much !!
Your series commentaries are my fav! Would love to see a euphoria and outer banks commentary! (I feel like they are the only shows of the last five years to have had any impact on fashion)
I'm confused as to why most people view Camille's actions as revenge against Emily instead of her allowing herself to work through her feelings for Gabriel, which is how I viewed it. Sis had invested five years into this relationship and admitted to her mother that she still loved him. The pact seemed more like Camille taking Emily out of the game so that she could focus on mending her relationship with Gabriel rather than revenge against Emily.
Was Camille appearing in Gabriel's apartment at the end meant to be a twist?
As a Ukrainian, I was so excited to actually hear my language this season. I honestly wasn't even taken aback when her character arc went south. This show just underperforms on every level.
Emily with some CC Babcock like suits would've been fire
omg yes the nanny fashion is superior and cc’s outfits were seriously some of the best too
I jump when I heard:"I know people in France are really, really afraid and scared about colors, about print". As a French woman, I can say "No we are not afraid of colours or print, we do love them and know how to coordinate them". Gods, I hate these assumptions.
Also thank you for this review that comforts me to watch this show.
Right! I'm not Parisian but I love the fashion and magazines and they're really bold when it comes to combine different patterns, always remembering that you can't get both colors and differently pattern combined in the same outfit or your harmony will be destroyed.
I don't think the bar for "better" was very high. Like I'd give season 1 a 1/10 and season 2 a 2/10. Season 2 addressed a lot of stuff, but I felt it did so in a surface-level way. Alfie felt like a token character meant as a direct writer's response to season 1 complaints (although, I will give the writer this, the scene of Gabriel deliberately overfeeding him to cockblock Emily did actually make me laugh a bit). Also ... the Ukrainian women stereotype was painful.

That purple Valentino dress she wore when on vacation was absolutely BEAUTIFUL but retails 10.000!!!!! How in the word would she even be able to RENT it?
Omg! I haven't finished the video yet but I love the early 1830s inspired neckline and sleeves of Mina's dress!
I know I can’t stop staring at it!
To me, the bodice remind me of Princess Diana wedding bodice: puff sleeves and ruffle trim on the neckline
would love to see you watch the second half of the gossip girl reboot and see how the style changed with that as well - i thought it improved!
I wanna see a plottwist and have Camille and Emily end up being a couple. Id die to see that.
Thanks for the video! I like all the fashion analyses, this is my comforting content
As a ukrainian, I was so tired of looking at them using all the trashy stereotypes about slavic women in the plot, I coulnd't keep watching. But I learned everything i needed from you hahah
The set up… ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!
It’s funny because when you actually go to places like Paris, the people there only where sneakers and comfortable shoes because of how much they walk. And they make it look chic and put together. High heels out and about feels very American imo
That’s true. Even when I wore sneakers there, the fashion sort without much support, my feet felt nearly fractured by the end of the day after so much walking! I couldn’t begin to imagine the suffering that would occur as a result of wearing heels for as long. On the Metro I saw an older man of about 60, who wore a super stylish outfit including a pristine hat and sneakers. Many residents wore sneakers, but he stood out for me the most.
this made me look through your uploads to see if you talked about The Bold Type's fashion. i didn't make it through the whole show, but i would love to hear you talk about the costume/fashion choices. (and it's got the female friendship you were looking for)
Me too!
Honestly love that show but the fashion isn't anywhere near good (though not as bad as Emily in Paris of course)
@@dianana7371 for me it's hit or miss, some outfits i love. But i gave analyzed it the way mina does in terms of characterization and everything, and it would be fun to imo
@@ArtichokeHunter yes it would be fun! Maybe she will when a new season comes out
Please yes, Jane's wardrobe kills me and there would be so much to analyse with Sutton, Jacqueline and Kat.
Audrey Hepburn Typically wore minimal patterns so if they showed her watching old movies set in Paris then incorporating costume elements from those movies into her wardrobe that would be a nice character development hint
Mina-I have been hopeful and patiently waiting for a possible, “Emily In Paris Season 2 Review,” from you. Thank you for filming this even if you weren’t particularly interested in doing season two after you watched season one. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the wonderful work! ❤️

One of the best reviews of this show and season I've seen. Thanks for expressing your thoughts which I think a lot of us wholeheartedly agree with. Glad you touched on the negative stereotype for the Ukrainian character and that "fashion" show at the end! In no way believable or interesting (and thanks for mentioning that all the "looks" were basically the same). They used Versailles as a background for this "merde"! Oh la la, no way! So many things wrong and thanks for your insightful and sweet review! Love your videos.
p.s. and yes if Emily loved fashion, why on earth would she have Alfie rip it off? They really didn't build any chemistry, passion, urgency in this pairing and, for me, there was a lack of any kind of buy in to the relationship.

I love how literally no one pronounces the title of the show the way they intended.
I'm not being sarcastic, I actually find it really funny. I don't watch the show btw, the first episode put me off forever.
Because em-ELEE in Pair-REE is literally SO cringe there would be no reason to even ironically watch this show without hating America for thinking that was clever in 2022
i think netflix here is in the wrong lmao if they wanted people to say it in french they should've named it ''Emily à Paris'', the ''in'' suggests that the title is in English
@@emmagerli9426 exactly, they literally wrote it in English lol
Haha oh.. I just got it 😅
Definitely liked the changes they made - like the French characters speaking in French when Emily wasn't there! I also thought Mindy's wardrobe made no sense for her story this season.
Also, Alfie was so arrogant and annoying and just so unlikeable!
I'm from Paris and the amount of colorful outfits depends on the neighborhood you're in. But in the office, people do generally wear neutral colors, I'll give them that...
Emily looks like the mad hatter though
I love Mina's use of the handheld microphone. It gives. It's unique.
I’m in love with your outfit and the french accent was pretty accurate (coming from a french native speaker)
Mais qu'est ce qu'elle a dit au début de la vidéo ? Je ne ai pas tout compris (mais en effet, le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle)
Mina I totally agree on your stance that the Emily in Paris love triangle is bad and that Gabriel is THE WORST. But I think very idea of love triangles as “trope” is not the issue here. I highly recommend TH-camr Julia Cudney’s vid “A fervent defense of love triangles” because it’s SO good.
Love your work Mina!
I missed you styling series like this!
the fashion video essay we still need is about mina’s own outfits,, looking gorgeous as always!!
hey! i'm again here suggesting a review of 'euphoria'... the costume designer (heidi bivens) did an interesting work and i think a lot of us 'beautiful doves' would like to watch it ;)
ps: i'm still in love with "teeth as a fashion statement"! lol keep up with the great work~

"That doesn't give me serotonin" is entering my vocabulary
The difference between Emily and Gabriel is that she was actually going to tell Camille what she had done. In my opinion Emily should have told her as soon as it happened but she didn’t and that was wrong, but Gabriel can’t even own up to it.
I think the last runway was maybe a reference to Savage X Fenty 's runways/ events .
YOU LOOK SO PRETTY
Your outfit reminds me of Marie Antoinette the shirt specifically like if she were from the 50s ish .I love it btw ❤️
mina your style is just so amazing !!!
Does anyone else really want Mina to review kpop fashion specifically album concepts and live performances fashion? I love how in dept Mina explains everything and when she details how she would personally dress different people/characters I think it’s a good insight into her own perspective. Also since kpop is mainly done in groups I think it’ll be interesting to see how she would style them individually while following a theme of course.
RIP to all my fellow midwest girls / anyone who lives in the so called "fly over" states who high key got shaded for our fashion. We always getting shitted on by everyone but its okay cause people who actually live in these states know that lots of us can turn a fucking look 😭😭 Like I know tons of girls at my college and throughout my state that look like models that were professionally dressed. One day we will get some respect from the fashion girls.
yes!! I live in Chicago and while the pressure to dress chic isn't as high as NYC, I see people serving looks every single day downtown
The Midwest will never get any respect until we do our own thing loud and proud instead of trying to imitate the coasts, which too many Midwesterners still do
red states
@@mirekhtiar7452 Luckily, IL had Chicago so we're always blue 💙
Girl I live in the south, and yeah I can't say where I live is even close to being the fashion capital of the US.
Still like this city though, will miss it if I end up needing to move 😊
I loved Silvie's looks... would be amazing to see you breakdown her costumes in accordance the her character arch.
Aidan rlly was the perfect man for Carrie 😭😭
That red hair is candy for the eyes
i was sipping my tea wen Mina dropped "the time to binge this Walmart sex and the city" OMG i choked hahaha
Your head scarf is bringing me LIFE AND INSPIRATION!
One thing that bothered me about the fashion show ending was the models’ clothes. It kind of reminded me of that Moschino collection and Savage x Fenty because of the Rococo dresses and dancing models of various body types. But like you said the designer was better dressed than the models! Like leagues better. Not to mention Pierre’s rivalry outfit was also better than anything the models wore as well. Also some of the shape wear didn’t match the models’ skin tones! Like that beige is supposed to be nude right? So why put it on a dark skinned model? Also give more room for the models to dance than that tiny runway if you’re showing the clothes’ mobility. I’m sure there were budget reasons for these decisions but maybe cut Emily’s hat budget to make it make sense?
(I’d cut out the gloves but since Patricia Fields is making money off the biker gloves I know that’s not gonna happen.)
I love the head scarf falling off because of your passionate anger towards Gabriel hahaha 😂
I feel like Emily was the girl in school that was sad when summer break started.
I was that kid…… I loved school.
As always, you’re killing the game with this fit. Literally stunning.
breaking news: season 2 of emily in paris turns out better than the first after crew watching mina le's video
i like the old hollywood fashion route! it emphasises the “american” aspect of emily’s character while also being chic, as opposed to the “gauche american in bright bold styles that the french are too afraid to do” route they seem to be going for
I've never watched Emily in Paris and honestly never plan to at this point from what I've seen, BUT Mina never misses the mark in her fashion analyses (and even plot analyses)!! 🔥
wtaching your vidoes is always such a relief not only because of how well edited and scripted they are but because of your amazing sound quality!!
It's very ominous to me that a big Netflix show would suddenly choose to vilify the only Ukrainian character I've ever seen them portray right when Russia is positioning itself to invade. It's very worrying and makes me wonder who's funding whom.
that makes no sense lmao, they are two separate issues. netflix and other western media have portrayed slavic characters as a whole negatively since forever, the director just happened to target ukrainian women for emily in paris. oh yeah the russian government is totally paying off a random netflix show to perpetuate xenophobic stereotypes associated with eastern europeans/slavs.
Pleaseeee do another one for season three! Your videos are my fav and you’re always so spot on. I honestly thought the third season was the WORST lol
