MELKE
Emma Gage founded Melke out of the desire to make incarnate the power of love, joy, and honesty in fashion. In a world where sustainability is now an imperative, Melke strikes the perfect balance between conscientiousness and unbridled exuberance. Heartfelt craftsmanship is paramount. Each piece exudes Emma’s gender-fluid vision. Every garment is like a canvas for her artistic expression, constructed with love and care.
It’s not easy to be both whimsical and serious simultaneously, but Emma’s incorporation of non-traditional symbolism and embellishments transforms her creations into earnestly unhinged collectables, and visually incongruous, eco-conscious choices. All with a home spun, tactile sensibility. Her collections are celebrations of reality, with her heart on every sleeve. Well, maybe this season it’s more appropriate to say her eye. One to watch!
