Her name is Lore Emelio.  Fashion has been Emelio's passion since age 6 when she draped her first dress.  Her dedication to the                                                 industry throughout her teens and undergraduate work at UNC took her to fashion design school at Parsons.  Emelio worked for                                               renowned fashion houses Ralph Lauren and Best & Co. but remained decisive in her vision - To create her own brand in what she                                             recognizes as the up and coming fashion center of the south - Charlotte.

Emelio is a graduate of both UNC Chapel Hill and Parsons School of Design in NYC, and her work focuses on the integration of fashion, fine art, and the natural world.
