Emma Cook’s eponymous line is inspired by a fictional muse named Susie. To create each season’s look, Cook imagines her young character traveling throughout time and the world, dictating the designer’s use of fabrics, prints, and detailing—which often include hand-painted and handcrafted touches. Past collections have included whimsical shapes, chintz accents, and draped jersey with laser-cut overlays. Cook was also highly praised for her 2008 Topshop capsule line, filled with quirky, animal-print pieces.
“I tend to keep all my clothes from many years ago—I have some vintage Vivienne Westwood pieces, some original dresses from the 1960s and 1970s, and a silver sequinned Peter Jensen top from last season, among many other pieces. It is useful, for my work, to keep as many dresses as I can.”—Emma Cook The Independent
“Each season Emma Cook writes another episode in her familiar story, bending it a little toward her notion of fashion, but without breaking the thread. Her materials are handcrafted leather and print, and she has a girl named Susie in mind who likes leggy clothes that stay just this side of cute.”—Sarah Mower Style.com
