Bill Cunningham inspires me
Last weekend, Bella and I went to a documentary about Bill Cunningham, the New York based photographer who chronicles Street Style for the NY Times and does it on a bike, with a film camera at the age of 80. What a guy, we loved it. It was amazing not only for the fashion but it took us away to the streets of New York and Paris as seen through the eyes of a truly good, honest and creative man. If you're ever feeling a bit weary of the world this is a tonic:
You just have to believe...
...in a little bit of magic ( and some nice warm woollies) when winter starts to cool things down. Wendy did and when I designed this 100% wool cardigan with the peter pan collar I believed too so just had to name it after her.
It'll keep you cosy warm and looking pretty so you can continue to create all your own magic in style:)
Available in redcurrant (as pictured), charcoal and black and instore at emma now!

Hot off the presses!!!
Issue #5 has a great featurette on ceramics & we love the cover artwork by Golden Ink Collective's Abby Seymour, beautiful work & they even have a new online store!
There's new fashion and recipe pages as well as an article on Auckland synchronized swimming group 'The wet hot beauties'.
Wonder if they've heard about our own Swanwear bathers-perfect combo.
The last issue of Extra-curricular sold out, it's a strictly limited run see, so pop in, grab one and get creative.

Wonderful wet wedding day!
I have to share with you these beautiful pics of the very lovely and talented Anna, and new husband Chris, on their recent wedding day. Anna has been helping emma over the last few years with creating great graphics, a wonderful new website and amazing ads and I was really excited to have the opportunity to make her wedding dress. We used ivory silk her Mum had bought years ago, perhaps for such an event, some vintage inspiration and a little bit of lace to finish off - perfect.
Congratulations you two and I know you'll have a wonderful and creative life together, xx

Busy, busy blossoms...
Where are the days going in 2011??
Busy times at emma so not a lot of blog time but winter production is in full swing, yippee!
So no time to waste, but thought you should know about lawyer/passionate cook Delaney Mes of blog Heartbreak Pie . She makes tasty food that's sure to inspire and she's a fan of emma!
So being that we share a love of food/baking/cooking & eating with her we thought it great she wanted to wear emma on her first TV appearance on Good Morning.
She looks very kitchen chic in our Blossom dress teamed with an adorable apron from her sister.
Check out how great she looks, bet Sarah was jealous-hee,hee!

Happy New Year!!
2010's going to be a great year and we're happy to say, that after a lovely sunny holiday in Waikanae, our Berhampore shop is open again!
We are back to normal trading hours from today (Tuesday 11th Jan) which are 10am to 5pm all week and 10am-4pm on Saturdays.
There's lots to look forward to this year with a new season release just around the corner but before then there's still quite a lot of summer fun to be had.
Thanks to all you lovely ladies, and some lovely lads too, who have helped 'emma' along the way and look forward to seeing you all again this new year.
