What Emma Chamberlain's House Reveals About Influencer Aesthetics
Emma Chamberlain is the 21-year-old influencer with 11.8 million Youtube subscribers who is famous for...we'll get back to you on that. Either way, Chamberlain has made enough money in the past five years to now be the proud owner of an LA mansion and, more importantly, an Open House video from Architectural Digest magazine.
If you've never seen them before, these AD house tours look like more brainy MTV cribs with American celebrities reveling in their aesthetic eye , encouraging their own color choices of antique cabinets and dressers.
< p class="dcr-kpil6a">Chamberlain's video is only notable in the series because she's so young. Social media was seething with envy not only because Chamberlain's $4.3 million is the subject of Pinterest moodboard dreams, but also because she was born in 2001. Not since Dakota Johnson, another daughter eccentric white girl, debuted in her own "serene Hollywood home" in 2020, people weren't so thrilled with a green kitchen and some natural light.OK, so why does Chamberlain deserve all this wealth and attention? Well, she's a Californian who rose to fame as a Youtube personality as a teenager. His open, relatable humor and fun editing style have been credited by The New York Times for "inventing the way people talk on YouTube now, especially the way they communicate authenticity". She already has a Time magazine "25 Most Influential People on the Internet" and a Forbes "30 Under 30" under her belt, and an online handset roughly following the population of Canada. She is also an ambassador for Louis Vuitton and Cartier, and has not only been a guest and attended the Met Gala, but for the past two years has interviewed celebrities on her red carpet for Vogue to wide acclaim. You may have seen clips of her and Gigi Hadid saying things like "big kill, or maybe burst out laughing after she absentmindedly responds to Jack Harlow with "I love you! Oh, and she also runs her own coffee business, Chamberlain Coffee.
Young celebrities figured out that a viral house tour Architectural Digest and a photo shoot of your perfectly Millennial/Gen Z style homes have become a way for them to build their brand without having to spend a week with an annoying reporter who might say things about you that you don't like . Unfortunately for them, we're still allowed to say things they might not like. And so, home!
"I've been waiting for this moment all my life" she beams at the start of the video as she opens the door to a property with a "wooded cabin in Lake Tahoe, but in LA". The home was meticulously redesigned by Chamberlain and Ashley Drost and Marie Trohman of Los Angeles-based interior design firm Proem, has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms (why do the rich need so many bathrooms? baths?), a basketball court, a pool (obviously) and some of the most beautiful natural lights you'll ever see.
Some rooms are undeniably beautiful, some are hideous (sorry kid ), and if Emma needs someone to house her - sit down while she's away (which is a lot) I'm totally depressed, but there's something about the house that feels deeply impersonal, little matter how many carefully coordinated splashes of color are shown to us. In fact it...
