When legends like Darren Star (creator behind Sex and the City & Beverly Hills 90210), Patricia Fields (Award-winning costume designer behind The Devil Wears Prada & Sex and the City) & Actress Lily Collins come together sparks are bound to fly. So, when Netflix dropped rom-com series ‘Emily in Paris’ it instantly became a topic of conversation especially as the world suffered from a deadly pandemic. So, here’s why we think it’s a problematic yet addictive escape.

A junior social media strategist aka Emily moves to Paris to provide an American point of view to ‘Savoir’ a French PR company. Between her luxurious lifestyle where she can be seen in numerous high fashion brands like Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Alexandre Vauthier, Christian Siriano, Vivienne Westwood et all. It’s nearly impossible not to wonder how she can afford such a lifestyle on an income of a junior level employee. From wearing a Chanel crochet eyelet crop top for a 5-mile run to wearing a Chanel tweed jacket which easily costs more than $6000 to an event is completely unrealistic.
