Emilia is a London-based Womenswear designer specializing in Knitwear.
After graduating from a BA (Hons) FDT course with 1st class degree from London College of Fashion, Emilia went on to study an MA Fashion course.
Having studied Womenswear and Textiles before, Emilia decided to focus on knitwear and to expand her existing skills in both hand- and machine-knitting.
Emilia’s collection ‘Prozac Nation’ was inspired by a memoir of the same name by Elizabeth Wurtzel. 'Prozac Nation' is a projection of a complex discernment of Lizzie's reality while suffering from depression through nine hand-knitted dresses. Each dress refers to a particular state of Elizabeth's mind, and together they visualize the process of her reinvention in form of shape, colour and texture. Exaggerated sleeves, necks and other body parts; unexpected chunky brass zips allowing to transform garments and a vivid colour palette create an instant impact. Having hand-knitted the entire collection herself, Emilia appreciates the quality of craftsmanship and provides her collection with sentimental value.
