Behind the scenes at summer shoot

Love this time of year as one (fashion) season becomes another.

I know, so the temperatures might not be that summery yet but at emma we're thinking about where we want to go on holiday and what we want to wear.

I really like this emma season ahead with lots of 1970's inspiration in the range.

Great colours like orange and purple, striking stripes, a cool beachy print designed exclusively for us by Karin Amdal :) and a very cute ship-shape cotton print that I totally love (hope you will too)

Thought you might like to take a peek at what's ahead for emma and we made a little movie of behind the scenes at our shoot for the new season.

Feel the warmth and imagine the sunshine, emx

It's always great seeing how others see places and things around us, gives you a fresh take on the familiar, thanks Claudia:)
