Our experienced team of stylists can assist you with custom sizing, colors and fabrics, as well as alterations and fittings. For special occasion couture garments, our head designer is also available for private consultation, by appointment only.

THE FOUNDER
Mi Jong Lee, born in Seoul, South Korea, grew up following her father’s diplomatic career and lived in diverse places such as Spain, Mexico, and Costa Rica. As a result, Lee's work is deeply influenced by art, architecture, and culture.
Lee followed her creative inclinations and studied at Parsons School of Design. In 1982 she opened a EMMELLE BOUTIQUE and began building a dedicated customer base with her distinct style of understated elegance.
