Emma J Shipley
Emma J Shipley is a British designer creating accessories and homeware for nature lovers, dreamers, and maximalists. Emma has always had a fascination with nature and wildlife, with a focus on some of the wildest places on Earth, such as the jungles of South America and the African savannah. Inspiration from Emma’s travels is combined with a fervent imagination and fictional influences such as myths, legends, and fairytales, to create a unique and fantastical world of design. The designs are all hand-drawn in pencil, before being intricately digitally coloured, creating a distinctive look combining traditional and cutting-edge techniques.
The brand launched at London Fashion Week in 2012, after Emma graduated from the Royal College of Art. Emma won multiple awards for her drawing and designs on graduation, and has since won business awards in the UK and internationally, including the WGSN Global Fashion Award for Emerging Brand. The famous boutique Browns launched Emma’s graduate collection of printed scarves, and her collections are now stocked in some of the best department stores and boutiques around the world, including Harrods and Liberty in London.
Emma has collaborated with high-profile brands including Disney on a Star Wars collection, Aspinal of London on printed leather bags, and Atelier Swarovski on a jewellery range.
