EMA: hand made accessories 2003-2006

During my time working at BODY, I formed my own accessory label called EMA. I produced hand knitted scarves in various yarns and colours to compliment the autumn/winter collections. For spring/summer I made knotted fabric scarves in different fabrics and textures.

The Tertiary course I completed was great because we got a taste of everything. Our projects revolved around creating a collection from a design brief, and adding our own personality into it. For these collections, we worked on all aspects of the design and development process, through to patterns, cutting, sewing and embellishing, costing, materials testing and marketing.
