EMME Studio is a New York-based clothing and accessory brand founded by Korina Emmerich. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, her colourful work is known to reflect her patrilineal Indigenous heritage from The Coast Salish Territory, Puyallup tribe. Growing up learning art and design from her father, she completed her first garment, her jingle dress regalia by age 14. Now actively involved in txʷəlšucid language and storytelling revitalization within the Puyallup tribe, Korina’s work is a story of strength, reclamation, and resilience. With a strong focus on social and climate justice, Emmerich advocates for industry responsibility and accountability and works to expose and dismantle systems of oppression that challenge colonial ways of thinking.
