EMME

EMME is a New York based womenswear and accessory brand founded by Korina Emmerich.

Korina Emmerich of EMME has built her brand on the backbone of Expression, Art and Culture. Leading the charge to embrace art and design as one and weaving it into her brand story, her colorful work is known to reflect her indigenous heritage stemming from The Coast Salish Territory, Puyallup tribe. Originally raised in Oregon, Korina Emmerich developed her brand in Brooklyn NY and cultivated a loyal following and successful path as a truly unique contemporary fashion designer. She debuted her Spring Summer 2015 collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion week and has continued to develop her work to reflect sustainability and responsibility in an ever changing fashion world.

The EMME Team stands with the Fashion Revolution movement and The Sustainable Development Goals and the belief in sustainable action, human rights, fair wage and transparency in the industry.

All of our items are made-to-order in our Brooklyn, New York studio. Our production runs are manufactured locally in The New York Garment District on 38th street. We are strict on our minimal waste policy and are always trying to find ways to re-invent "leftovers" and "scrap" material and turn them into fabulous fashions!

We want to unite the fashion industry and ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased, so that what the world wears has been made in a safe, clean and fair way.
