From her days of mass thrifting to her numerous red-carpet events, Emma has influenced style across multiple niches in younger generations.

Chamberlain uses her clothing and personal style as art and expression across all platforms. Her experimentation, mixed with timelessness, is one of the reasons she has been so influential in the fashion industry.
Chamberlain always has the perfect mix of boldness while keeping smooth silhouettes. She seamlessly adapts to the upcoming trends while adding her personal touches, earning her applause in a day and age where the media is saturated with micro-trends. Her content evolves as she does, but she remains true to her style, which is apparent in her outfits.
How do We Define Gamine Beauty?
So, how has she influenced the appreciation of Gamine beauty in today’s fashion landscape? The Gamine archetype- for starters- can be defined as “a slim, often boyish, elegant young woman who is, or is perceived to be, mischievous or teasing.” Other celebrities who fit this bill are typically defined by their short hair, boxier silhouettes, and more masculine looks- all of which Emma has artfully highlighted in how she presents herself. And she’s been doing it for a long time, marking herself as one of the pillars of the Gamine.

Since she was a teenager, she has spoken openly about her introverted lifestyle and tried to find outlets from her adolescence, one of which was fashion. Her content has always been relatable to many viewers, making it unique: i’s attainable and inspiring in how she plays with fashion and embraces unconventional styles. As a result, the Gamine’s hold on the current fashion industry- especially on the runway- can be partially accredited to Chamberlain, whose fashion-inspired audience has clung to it more so because of her.
Her Current Obsession: Eyewear
One of Chamberlain’s current obsessions is her use of eyeglasses- an accessory she used to contribute to her Gamine style with the recent use of Bayonetta frames in her new collection with Warby Parker, in the works of which she recalled loving glasses and being drawn to them from a young age, relaying her timeless style. She has worked with many companies and reminded us that glasses can be just as good an accessory to a statement bag or fun jewelry.

“I’m a huge glasses connoisseur. It’s my number one accessory,” she said in an interview with People Magazine. She wanted her campaign to be “classic” but still be able to make a statement, reaching for timelessness in the future and with ever-changing trends and styles. Whatever accessories may be trending, we know Emma will make them something worth obsessing over.
