From Celine Dion singing from the Eiffel Tower in the Olympics opening ceremony to the first instalment of Emily in Paris season 4, all eyes have been on the French capital in the past six months. Emily Cooper’s theatrical costumes often feel even more unrealistic than the dramatic plot twists, however for a more authentic look at Parisian style you don’t need to book a flight to Charles de Gaulle. Thanks to Instagram, you can now see in real time what some of the city’s most fashionable women are wearing and pretend you too are dressing for an afternoon exploring Le Marais.
You only need to look at the international success of French brands such as Sezane and Rouje to see that the obsession with French style is a powerful, commercial force.
