Welcome to Emma & Michele® Dress, Jumpsuit, Romper – your destination for effortlessly chic and sophisticated fashion. Our story begins with a shared passion for timeless style and impeccable craftsmanship.
Our Story
Emma & Michele was founded in 2015 by two friends who wanted to bring their vision of modern elegance to women everywhere. Emma’s background in fashion design and Michele’s keen eye for emerging trends made them an unstoppable duo. Together they set out to create a collection of dresses, jumpsuits, and rompers that blend classic silhouettes with contemporary details.
The brand takes its namesake from the two co-founders, whose complementary strengths and sensibilities are infused into every piece. Emma’s polish and Michele’s cool strike the perfect balance between refined and relaxed. Their shared belief that confidence comes from feeling comfortable and put-together has been the ethos behind Emma & Michele since day one.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, the brand has carved out a niche in the competitive world of affordable luxury. The focus is on delivering runway-worthy style at accessible prices, for the modern woman on the go. Every garment is designed in-house and made from luxe fabrics you can feel good wearing all day.
While many brands chase fleeting fads, Emma & Michele aims for timelessness. The focus is on investment pieces that slot seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. Yet a subtle playfulness makes each item feel fresh and current. This versatility allows our customers to transition effortlessly from day to night, boardroom to bar, work trip to weekend getaway.
Our Design Philosophy
The Emma & Michele design philosophy balances elegance and ease in perfect harmony. We embrace a “less is more” aesthetic that values impeccable fit over fussy details. Garments are crafted from quality fabrics that feel luxurious against the skin. Neutral palettes provide an ideal canvas for statement prints and textures.
Silhouettes are feminine yet never restrictive. Our collections encompass breezy maxis, tailored sheaths, and chic jumpsuits fit for modern women on the move. We also offer of-the-moment takes on closet classics – think crisp button-downs, effortless trousers, and the perfect transeasonal jacket.
Design details like ruched waists, clever pockets, and convertible necklines provide thoughtful functionality. Rich textiles add subtle sophistication, from slinky jersey knits to eye-catching brocades. Through it all, we remain committed to impeccable construction and ethical production. Our goal is for each Emma & Michele piece to elevate your look and bring you joy long after the first wear.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Emma & Michele, we are unwavering in our commitment to quality. It underpins everything we do, from fabric selection to garment construction. Each piece is meticulously crafted to stand the test of time despite its attainable price point.
We build long-standing partnerships with manufacturers who share our values around ethical business practices. Production is closely overseen at every stage, both onsite and through technology. This hands-on approach enables us to guarantee consistent fit and finish across all our collections.
The result is evident in the luxurious hand-feel of our fabrics and impeccable construction. Our clothing retains its shape wear after wear thanks to quality fabrics and flattering silhouettes. Convenient details like stretch waists and lining make our pieces as comfortable as they are polished.
For us, quality and care go hand in hand. We want our clothes to be part of your everyday life, not relegated to special occasions. Our collections are designed to layer seamlessly and transition effortlessly from season to season. Timeless over trendy is the Emma & Michele way.
