The distinctive wardrobes of Netflix’s Emily in Paris are receiving a museum exhibition in Atlanta. Titled “Emily in Paris: Fashion Without Rules, Costumes by Marylin Fitoussi,” the presentation examines how clothing has contributed to the series’ identity across six seasons.
Opening on November 11th, the exhibition arrives ahead of the show’s sixth and final season, scheduled for December 24th, 2026.Opening on November 11th, the exhibition arrives ahead of the show’s sixth and final season, scheduled for December 24th, 2026.
For visitors, the opportunity extends beyond seeing familiar outfits in person. The retrospective considers the decisions behind individual garments, including their colors, silhouettes, materials and connections to specific characters.
The exhibition brings together over 100 ensembles representing the principal characters and significant moments from the Netflix series.
Organized around a loose chronology, the presentation includes installations inspired by memorable scenes. One revisits the Versailles fashion event influenced by Marie Antoinette at the end of season two. Another examines Emily Cooper’s recurring references to Audrey Hepburn.
These displays offer insight into Fitoussi’s interpretation of contemporary French fashion, particularly her willingness to combine vintage clothing, established luxury labels and emerging designers.

Rather than presenting Parisian elegance through a single aesthetic, her costumes explore different approaches to personal style.
Emily Cooper, portrayed by Lily Collins, is associated with expressive colors, contrasting prints and unexpected accessories. Her clothing frequently challenges conventional expectations of Parisian dressing.
Her employer, Sylvie Grateau, offers a different perspective. Tailored garments, carefully selected eveningwear and restrained combinations establish a more controlled visual identity.
Camille’s wardrobe favors contemporary pieces with an understated yet unconventional edge, while Mindy’s clothing incorporates bright colors, embellishments and more elaborate silhouettes.
The exhibition also acknowledges individual fashion contributors. Among the featured designs is a black satin skirt ensemble with a mirrored leather bra top by SCAD graduate Kate Barton, worn by Camille during season four.
French costume designer Marylin Fitoussi developed her understanding of clothing through exposure to garments from different periods and studies at the École du Louvre.
Her professional experience includes French and international screen productions. She also collaborated with stylist Patricia Field during the first two seasons of “Emily in Paris” before assuming responsibility for the series’ costume design.
At SCAD Fash, her work is presented through finished garments alongside sketches, photographs and production materials.
The retrospective will also include an Antonio Marras dress from the upcoming sixth season, allowing visitors to examine a costume before its appearance on Netflix.
The retrospective is curated by Rafael Gomes, Creative director of SCAD Fash museums, in collaboration with Emily Smith, assistant director of fashion exhibitions.
Its educational focus reflects the Savannah College of Art and Design’s programs in fashion, film, production design and related creative disciplines.
A special opening event on November 10th will bring together participants connected to the series. The program includes a discussion involving cast members and an exhibition preview.
For fashion audiences, the exhibition provides a detailed examination of contemporary costume design and the ways clothing establishes identity on screen.
