"Emilia Kaye"

Soft, light, airy with accents of lace, pastels and small things of sparkle. Now and then with the dapple of pretty flowers, romantic fabrics, and the feeling of being quite feminine. Uniqueness and artisticness never sways and is always held very tender to the heart... "Emilia Kaye," this is my label and this is what it means to me. --Emily Kaye Sunnell

Emily Sunnell is a reconstruction designer based in Portland, OR. She takes pieces of vintage clothing, such as slips, shirts, dresses, etc., and transform them into unique one-of-a-kind attires. The seasons, weather, the last book she read, painters, poems, and good food, all affect and spur her inspired side.

Leaving edges raw, unfinished, is Emily's trademark. Assymetry is usually always required. And the layering of textures, eye catching fabrics are of the upmost importance to her designs. This is not just clothing you are wearing. This is worn art.

Along with reconstruction design, Emily is a hairstylist as well. She is a freelance stylist, working with various photographers throughout Portland. Most of the hairstyles listed under "reconstruction work," she has created, but she does pay tribute to the artists that have been involved. With the photoshoots, you see what she sees. A small view, but one that hopes to capture feeling.
