PS: Lily Collins, Kim Cattrall, and Sarah Jessica Parker all praise you in the film for your unique style of collaboration on set. Collins specifically says she was expecting to be told what to do and what to wear by you and instead was surprised that you asked her. Later, you tell Kim, "You can't throw clothes at people and say 'wear this'; you have to understand who you're dressing." Is this your process? And can you share more about how you work?
PF: Yes, that is [my process]. The key is you really need to understand who you're dealing with. You're not dealing with a product; you're dealing with a human being. Establishing a relationship with the actor is extremely important. Because the actor at the end needs to trust you. They're not models going down the runway. They're portraying scenes and lifestyles. And I love the process of supporting the actor and giving the actor what I have to offer but always [having] the actor in mind.
In the case of Lily Collins and "Emily in Paris," on her way to Paris from California, she came to New York to my gallery. I knew she was coming, so I did some initial shopping, just to get to know her. That was so, so helpful.
