I loved this video, so fun! I would be very interested on your take of how they dressed the Sylvie Grateau character, I especially like her accessories and am obssessed with her apartment; I know it's a set but I want that apartment.
Sylvie is super French and super chic. I would say both Sylvie and Camille's style is very Parisian. Maybe a bit nicer than the average Parisian, but still the style is very much in line with Parisian style. At times, Sylvie's outfits are a bit sexy (like the huge slits up the skirts at work), but there's no shame in that game; be sexy!
Hey Adriel, great video! Enjoy hearing your point of view. By the way, love your pink lipstick! As a brunette, finding the “right” pink is a little tricky. It looks great on you! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for speaking the truth about this nasty fluff. As a French native, born and raised in Paris, I can assure you that Emily in Paris is a ridiculous bunch of the cheapest stereotypes... Please note that no French person would be caught wearing a béret, let alone a RED one 🤣🤣🤣
Great video although I never took “ Emily in Paris “ seriously. It’s a light hearted show. I watch it when relaxing . It puts me in a happy mood. All you stated is true ; but just watch it for the fashion, romance, and comedy. 😊
@@adrielfeliseabsolutely not true. There is a black gay man in the office. A lesbian/bi-sexual. An Asian woman as near-lead. Emily dated a black man. A latino man. Facts are important when criticizing.
What fashion? Sorry again to break it to you, but NO French person dresses like Emily in Paris. Real Parisians can only be annoyed, to say the least, by those ridiculous stereotypes.
Incredible video Adriel, I love your fashion inserts... I am now back on two feet after my foot fracture, enjoying footwear again (yay)! Also, will be in Paris October 11 - 14 which I am so looking forward to 🎉
Great information, when It came to the outfit with the big brim black hat, and the mask, I think of the restaurant McDonalds,, there was an old commercial and there was a character called the hamburgler ..that’s who it reminds me of…very strange look to me..😅
But... also, cultural references to 17/18 centuries I think: masked ball, hooped half-skirt (exaggerated hip/waist), highwayman, juggler/jester - I see a clever use of masculine/Feminine twist & European social eras; not that I would wear it! I just appreciate it 😊
Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing your critique about "Emily in Paris." You provided constructive criticism and you clarified a lot about Paris and Parisians.
I'm watching this video in the CDG airport waiting to board my flight back home to the US. My french is terrible but I try and most Parisians were very kind to me.
Come on, it’s an entertainment show! And walking in the rain in Paris is amazing, I love it. One thing I definitely agree with you on - yes, Italian men are handsome 😊
I'm eager to visit Italy; I've heard so much about the Italian culture. I haven’t seen the show you mentioned, but I'll definitely check it out. Currently, my partner is preparing for a stem cell transplant, so I will be in a supportive role ( in a bubble with him) for the next six weeks. I really enjoy your channel and find your content very entertaining. You funny woman you. I’ll be 63 soon and you remind me of me so much lol.
Italy is a lot of fun. I went during the covid time, though, so my experience was likely very different. No crowds, just chilling; it was great. I wish your partner the best and I'm glad I make you laugh.
@@adrielfelise Thank you so much for your kind words. Chillin while in a place like Italy my cup of espresso lol . I truly appreciate your support and encouragement. I have full confidence that, despite the challenges, both he and I will navigate this journey successfully. The entire process is indeed fascinating, and it's remarkable how science plays such a crucial role. Your honesty and witty humor always bring a smile to my face. Once again, thank you for your well wishes for my partner. Your a true doll 🙋🏻♀️
Bonjour, Adriel! Thank you so much for this video. Your insight related to EIP fashion was spot on. I, too, lovelove love Pat Fields, but find most of Emily's (and Mindy's) outfits quite cringe. You also make a very, good point about the lack of multicultural representation in Paris. Thanks for the video!
hi, i'm planning on moving to France for a while , I know that to get the visa you are not allowed to work while you stay there, Is doing RUclips posts allowed?
Adriel - say it again - French men do not approach!! I do not even look at them anymore because it's like what's the point - only for them to walk past anyways! Only one time during salsa class, a guy asked me to dance and it shocked the hell out of me haha
Same thing happened to me at salsa!! During my first trip to France with my brothers my older brother wanted to go to salsa and a guy approached me. My older brother was off dancing and my younger brother & I were awkwardly standing next to each other. I looked at him, he looked at the guy, he nodded, crossed his arms and stared the man down the whole dance. I think the sibling intimidation plus the fact I can’t dance salsa turned him off. Hahaha.
Why does everyone in France criticize Emily as if she was a Parisian? She’s American!! She dresses like she wants she’s not trying to dress as someone she’s not. She doesn’t really know how to dress well but she loves using a lot of color and has fun with clothes.
I presume when you use the term "Parisian" you're referring to a French person because anyone who lives in Paris is a "Parisian." As such, I'm not criticizing Emily as a French person, I'm criticizing Emily as an American.
French-American here, born and raised in Paris. What is totally unbearable about Emily in Paris is how she's cosplaying her idea of a French girl. Yet, do you really believe she dresses American? It's just pure projection, especially the béret which no French person would be caught wearing, let alone a RED one 🤣🤣🤣
Ok, I'll play...LOL!!! One thing that EIP fails to do is show the evolution of Emily's style on her journey from Chicago to Paris. It's as if she acquired all of this colorful designer clothing in Chi-Town, then burst onto the scene in Paris as a fashionista with no help or inspiration from the French. Really??? It's too bad because I think they missed an opportunity to engage, inspire and influence the audience with regard to identity, cultural influences, self-confidence, conscious consumption, vintage shopping, etc.
So the jumpsuit with the Harlequin mask and the overskirt and the wide brim. Way too costumy for me! Perhaps she made a grand entrance at a costume party? In any case, I vote non!!!!
Would you consider doing a "fashion police" video à l'Adriel? I'd enjoy listening to your views about what's appropriate and adequate for any given time and occasion.
No the men don't throw themselves at women but they will pinch your ass in the metro, and follow you. Paris isn't nearly as grey as Normandy. I have to disagree with you on the way they dress Emily. That's done on purpose and yes it goes against the grain of having to conform to French standards of dress. That's why she's Emily. we don't expect her to dress like the French.
Yes, I know they dress her against the grain on purpose. I don’t believe I said that it wasn’t done on purpose, I believe I said that she is dressed in a way made to highlight her otherness & it’s just not a very French way of dressing. And it isn’t. It’s a very American way of dressing & when living in Paris, most people are more apt to try to blend in rather than standing out. Plus she could still stand out with her fashion without it being so loud & American.
It’s entertainment…famous for being unrealistic. Probably made for American audiences ~ French approaches to style and entertainment would not fly with the general American audiences. For French style ~ check French made entertainment.
@@HarrisPilton789 Because if anyone is going to be proud of their cultural language, it would be the English to compare to the French. Different factors contribute to the way Americans speak today ( Education, colonization, slavery, immigration, etc.). Americans do speak English properly and probably love speaking English. It just isn't the Queen's English or romanticized like French is. English is more direct and difficult to properly grasp for some. Americans who speak French in Louisiana love speaking French also, but very different from French in France. Doesnt mean they dont love speaking French.🤷♀️ I'm done with this topic.

I recently found your channel and loving your content :) can't wait for the Fall fashion videos!
Thank you. Yes, fall fashion videos are coming.
In terms of fashion I’ve was told by a Londoner, Americans shout and Parisians whisper. 😂😮🤨
Haha. yes, that's probably true.
Yes!!!! Parisiens whisper in public. However, French tourists anywhere in the world tend to be loud...
Great video although I never took “ Emily in Paris “ seriously. It’s a light hearted show. I watch it when relaxing . It puts me in a happy mood. All you stated is true ; but just watch it for the fashion, romance, and comedy. 😊
Yeah, I don't take it that seriously either, but it does bug me that there is absolutely no diversity!
@@adrielfelise I agree💕

Of course its an entertainment show, but like a true Parisian, I have to complain ☺
@@adrielfelise 👍🏼❤😂
I’m all about little people unite 😁
Can you do a video on your process / vision of how you pick clothes and accessories? I love your style!
Yes! Little person unity. Yes, I will do that; I have a video along those same lines that I'm working on.
I love all your outfits in this video. 🙂👍🏾 I like the idea of french style.
Thank you!
Loved watching this video! All great points !!
Gald you enjoyed!
Great video. Very fun topic. Love your pink lipstick 🩷

Bonjour, Adriel.
Great video❤
Bonsoir. Merci beaucoup.
Interestingly enough, actor Lily Collin’s speaks fluent French in real life.
I know! So funny!

You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the lack of representation is quite frustrating.
hi, i'm planning on moving to France for a while , I know that to get the visa you are not allowed to work while you stay there, Is doing RUclips posts allowed?
hello. I'm really not able to answer that and strongly recommend you speak to a lawyer.

The jumpsuit no. Probbaly would have worked had the half skirt been a full skirt with a slight side split. You are right about the white headband.
The jumpsuit just didn’t hit the spot for me.

Oh I love this. So true! Her style has evolved in little drips.
You’re hilarious! So enjoying this video
Glad you enjoyed :)

It was a masquerade ball.

That exact video is in the pipeline for October.
Brilliant idea 🎉
The striped jumpsuit and wide black hat…Hamburgler anyone?

@@adrielfelise I guess those that want to blend in but there are some who don’t want to thank goodness.
You are logically explaining things in a nice way. I agree about Italy. 😊 I just visited Orly a week ago. Love the pastries..but so does everyone!
Yes, I'm very logical. Haha. And, I certainly miss the cute italian men.
Turkish men are georgeous.
I was supposed to go to Turkey this summer with my friend and her husband AND THEN the Paris prefecture destroyed that. I really want to go.
It’s entertainment…famous for being unrealistic. Probably made for American audiences ~ French approaches to style and entertainment would not fly with the general American audiences. For French style ~ check French made entertainment.
I know it's entertainment. I said that in the video.
It's ok. She does not represent French nor Paris, rien du tout. 🙄
Bah non. She doesn’t not.
Emily embarrassed
you have the kamala harris laugh. i love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The least the show could do is add more variety of races
The least!!
I wish Americans loved speaking English properly, the way that French people love their language.
Maybe because Americans aren't English?
@@Chicaboom644 Most Americans speak English, don’t they?
@@HarrisPilton789 Yes. The U.S. is also a large, diverse country with various forms of American English dialects.
@@Chicaboom644that is true. How does that relate to speaking English properly, and loving the English language?
