Meet our FashionFest 2024 Featured Designer!

Emma Gage launched MELKE in 2021, creating joyful collections of knitwear, separates, dresses, and accessories through small-scale production practices. MELKE empowers the wearer through colorful, whimsically crafted designs.
Focused on individuality and freedom, each piece expresses Emma’s fluid approach to slow fashion. Refusing to allow high standards for sustainability get in the way of her exuberant vision, she creates made-to-last collectibles with an unrestrained love for the planet and its people.
MELKE debuted at New York Fashion Week with the presentation of its fall winter 2022 collection.
