About Me
Hi I’m Emily, a fashion design graduate from the University of Leeds
Emily Moore is a British fashion designer who specialises in womenswear. Her personal style is recognised through the intricate prints and graphic artwork she designs. During her time at university, she has researched ways to combat the environmental damage caused by the fashion industry through the research of innovative materials and 3D design tools.
I am inspired by observing and speaking to the people around me. My work is often driven by my love of culture. I enjoy physical work and allowing my ideas to flow through exploration of print, colour and texture. Playfulness is core to my design ethos. Experimenting with different materials, technologies and art forms without the pressure of perfectionism is where my ideas are born. Environmental responsibility is practiced in my work through research into new innovative materials and production software’s which can be used to limit environmental impact of the products created.
INSPIRATION
My collections are always inspired by the culture and people around me
‘Seventeen going under’ is inspired by photographs of my parents growing up in the North-East of England. I was inspired by their music, fashion and places they hung out in. I also grew up in the North and found the photos mirrored what me and my friends do. With the rise of modern artists embracing these roots such as Sam Fenders ‘Seventeen going under’ song which the collection was named after, I wanted to create a modern collection which me and my friends would wear inspired by the Northern Heritage
The Age of Opulence’ for For Love & Lemon’s is inspired by the Netflix series Bridgerton. The show is renowned for its extravagant gowns, interiors, and landscapes. I was drawn to the landscapes and interiors to create floral prints in bold colourways using digital and traditional methods of printmaking. I wanted to use luxurious fabrics to replicate the extravagant gowns but instead making them more wearable to modern society, which I chose to do through underwear.

DETAIL
I am excited by film and art, many of my collections incorporate bold prints inspired by this
My innovation project also took inspiration from my friends. The brief for the Innovation module was to design garments for a group in society in which they could benefit from. Looking to my friends for inspiration, I thought about the issues we face going to gigs, clubbing and bars and how I could design functional garments which could provide safety, function, and comfort. The designs are all built around a purpose and feature adaptable components which can aid women to enjoy their nights. My collection for Zimmerman inspired by the Assouline books series ‘Capri’, featured intricate print work created using traditional and digital media. The book featured bright fruits, pottery landscapes which filled me with inspiration that I unleashed in the print room. I used different media methods from hand painting, screen printing and etching to explore patterns which would drive my collection. I digitally enhanced them into repeat patterns making them appropriate for my bohemian inspired collection.
My muse is reality, I love local stories, I love meeting real people, I get inspired by the most mundane things – Virgil Abloh
