'Emily in Paris' Costume Exhibition Opens at SCAD FASH in Atlanta, the Show's First Museum Showcase
SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta, Georgia, is presenting 'Emily in Paris: Fashion Without Rules — Costumes by Marylin Fitoussi,' the first museum exhibition devoted to the costumes of the hit series 'Emily in Paris.' The exhibition opened on Nov. 11.
For six seasons, costume designer Marylin Fitoussi has shaped one of television's most recognizable visual worlds, creating wardrobes that have sparked admiration, debate, imitation, and conversation around the globe. Drawing on haute couture, vintage treasures, emerging designers, and unexpected discoveries, Fitoussi transforms clothing into emotional narratives, using color, silhouette, texture, and detail. The exhibition explores the vision behind the costumes, tracing the evolution of the show's beloved characters while revealing the artistry, experimentation, and collaboration that bring them to life.
In the exhibition, Emily's exuberant maximalism, Sylvie's effortless authority, Mindy's fearless theatricality, and Camille's avant-garde edge each become a language through which personality, ambition, humor, desire, and fantasy are expressed. At the heart of Fitoussi's practice, SCAD says, is the belief that fashion should inspire joy and freedom; unconcerned with convention, trends, or rules, she embraces style as a space for imagination, individuality, and creative risk.
Through garments, sketches, photographs, and behind-the-scenes materials, visitors are invited into Fitoussi's atelier, where ideas become culture. More than a chronicle of a television series, SCAD says, the exhibition offers a portrait of a designer whose work has redefined the relationship between fashion and contemporary storytelling.
The exhibition is curated by Rafael Gomes, creative director of SCAD FASH museums, in collaboration with Emily Smith, assistant director of fashion exhibitions, with set design by Trang Vu, senior designer of SCAD Design Group. It is made possible by support provided in honor of Savannah and Bella Nardelli.
SCAD FASH is the Savannah College of Art and Design's museum of fashion and film in Atlanta. The exhibition is now open to the public and is scheduled to run through March 14, 2027.
