| Life & Career |
Emma was so passionate about the fashion industry that she enrolled at the London College of Fashion in 1997. In 2001, she graduated from college and began her work with Inca Productions. She was in charge of the company’s endorsement and sponsorship activity at the time.
Later, she wanted to do even more, so she teamed up with ITB in year 2008. She rose through the ranks of ITB to become the Managing Director and then the CEO.
Emma then assumed the role of Chairman of ITB and worked with a number of well-known clients in the industry, including H&M, Calvin Klein, and Net-a-Porter. Emma, despite her tremendous status, desired to accomplish something nice, something special.
She was able to manage a decent network of top designers, companies, influencers, and reality stars owing to her astute movements and hard work. Emma had an idea for a company that would make denim for women of all shapes and sizes.
She found this concept to be incredibly productive and original, which increased her confidence in pitching it to everybody who crossed her path. She was confident that her company concept would succeed, and she left her position at ITB because she was so confident in it.
Together with this concept, she proposed Kar-Jenner matriarch Kris Jenner, who, after hearing her proposal, recommended her to pitch it to Khloe Kardashian. And when Emma presented her proposal to Khloe, she knew she had found the appropriate person to help her with her task. She launched the company Good American with Kardashians after her successful proposal.
