Our Story

EMEL Fashion was founded in 2008 by the visionary duo Michelle Liu and Ken Wu. The name "EMEL" is a tribute to our roots, derived from the letters "M" and "L," representing our Taiwanese-born chief designer and co-founder, Michelle Liu.

Michelle’s journey in the fashion world began with her participation in the Fashion Career International (FCI) fashion shows, where she quickly made a name for herself. Her debut collection captivated audiences with its romantic essence, beautifully pairing reflective silks with diaphanous chiffons in an Easter-egg pastel palette. Building on this early success, she introduced a second collection featuring youthful, vibrant cocktail dresses.

The true breakthrough for EMEL Fashion came at the prestigious West Coast fashion event,Β Project Ethos: Incubator. Here, Michelle unveiled "Urban Dryad," a collection that seamlessly blended eco-friendly materials with body-hugging knit fabrics, solidifying our brand's reputation for innovative and conscious design.
