Fashion Designer: Emily Sifrit
Emily Sifrit is the designer and founder of eKaye Collection, a brand focused on couture using edgy, timeless design. Originally from south Chicagoland, her story began with an early introduction to sewing and design. By age 19 she’d already been sewing for 12 years.. here she began on the path of turning a hobby into a career. Her work is now recognized internationally and continues to focus on the future of the industry while embracing the roots of art, craftsmanship, and expression.
She's been known to create rare garments using materials such as burlap, industrial tarps, and canvas. Her statements are versatile, feminine, and always nod to pure sensuality.
Brand: e.Kaye
e.Kaye emerged in 2010 with a modest fashion show produced by friends & family, for friends & family. In the years following the initial launch, e.Kaye was featured in a menagerie of productions including Fashion Focus Chicago, Fashion in the Streets, and a series of RAW Natural Born Artists showcases across the US. In 2017, with the guidance of an industry mentor, Emily took a more concentrated approach to branding and the building of a true fashion house. She shifted her focus and embraced custom couture while allowing fresh collections to flow each season. 2018 brought her first invitation to New York Fashion Week where she showed a two part collection aptly named ‘twenty eighteen’. The very next season, e.Kaye was named one of NYFW’s top ten ‘Ones to Watch’ and showed at the prestigious Pier 59. In this house, fresh life is consistently emerging through the art of fashion.
