EXCLUSIVE: ‘Emily in Paris’ Will Have Shoppable Content for Season 2

Have you noticed that more women are wearing berets, and brightly colored clothing?
Fashion executive Mindy Lin Prugnaud certainly has, and she draws a straight line to “Emily in Paris,” the hit Netflix series that spawned dozens of websites that meticulously document every outfit and accessory worn by the main characters.
Now Netflix and ViacomCBS are further fanning interest in the hit show by opening an online store to sell merchandise from a clutch of top luxury houses featured on the show. It is slated to go live just as season two starts streaming on Dec. 22, allowing viewers to buy the checkered jacket from Chanel-owned Barrie worn by the main character, portrayed by Lily Collins, or the tasseled Roberto Coin earrings worn by her vivacious sidekick Mindy, played by Ashley Park.

Kate Middleton Wears Eponine Dress at UN Climate Change Conference

Kate Middleton brought her signature style to the COP26 Summit.
The Duchess of Cambridge attended the United Nation’s Climate Change Conference in Glasgow alongside husband Prince William on Monday wearing a dress from London-based fashion brand Eponine’s spring 2020 collection.
Middleton’s dress was a wool crepe maxidress in a cobalt blue with three-quarter sleeves and black button accents. The dress — a new one for Middleton, who is known for recycling her outfits — falls in line with the duchess’ style of wearing colorful coat dresses at her royal engagements.
The duchess paired the look with her Poppy Code Breakers Brooch, which is said to be a tribute to her grandmother, Valerie Glassborow, who served in World War II as a code breaker at Bletchley Park, the primary center for Allied code breaking during the war.

Get to Know: Sen5e

Bronx native and fashion designer Frank Morales combined his background in graffiti and graphic design studies into emerging brand Sen5e.
A look from Sen5e.
While COVID-19 continues to be a challenge, the designer tells WWD that it’s given him and his business partner, Shqiprim Mujaj, time to experiment with the direction for Sen5e’s new drops.
The pair were able to explore fabrics and designs, while remaining tunnel-visioned. “Every concept has a story to it all. It’s original and refreshing. All of our ideas are made from scratch. I try my best not to get sucked into the newest trends or what’s ‘in’ at the moment. I love making quality pieces, from the cuts down to the design. When I say this, I mean this in the most humble way,” said Morales.

The designer said that social media has definitely aided in the growth and expansion of the brand — even reaching the likes and support of rappers like Rowdy Rebel and Bobby Shmurda. Forging ahead, the designer envisions a prosperous future for Sen5e. “Stay true to yourself, focus on your lane and never stop grinding. This was all an idea five years ago so I can only imagine what’s to come
