Empha is custom-made streetwear from Germany!
Eva Müller
I´m a wholeheartedly fashion designer and musician who tries to live her life the most pleasant way. My fashion label is my baby and I´m living for my business. Besides I´m a passionate musician and love playing theatre. In those two fields I can also bring in my passion for crafting. So I´m working as a costume designer for theatre productions and as a stylist and designer for young upcoming bands.
What got you started crafting?
I started crafting when I was 12 years old. Back then I started with friendship bracelets and crocheting caps. Later I started sewing my first garments. I remember that my first piece of clothing was a long skirt with "Burberry" pattern. Thinking back it was awful, but I learned sewing all by myself ;) By and by I created more and more garments for my friends and family. At he time I started my fashion studies at a fashion school in Mannheim/Germany I developed my idea of an own fashion label until in 2007 I established empha and in 2008 I released my first streetstyle collection.
What is your source of inspiration?
I´m a very attentive person, that walks through the world with her eyes wide open. So I´m inspired by everything that sorrounds me. My last collection I designed with an idea of a photoshoot.
What have you made recently?
The last things I crafted were new designs for my spelt-pillow animals. Especially in winter they are the perfect idea for gifting. I´m an animal lover and so I love creating those cute little designs. It makes me so happy when people see this pillows and start squeaking :)
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
You can buy my items on the web through my DaWanda shop.

Why are handmade crafts important to you?
When you buy handmade items you know where the stuff you´re buying is coming from. You can send your enquiries directly to the designer and in my case you can create your individual style.
