Here about ‘ELIZABETH EMANUEL’ story :
Born to an American father and British mother, Elizabeth was educated at the City of London School for Girls and then, upon leaving school, Elizabeth took a year’s foundation course at The Harrow College of Art followed by a three year diploma course in fashion.

At Harrow she met and married David Emanuel, and together they became the first married couple to be accepted by the Royal College of Art for a two year Masters degree in Fashion. Reaction to Elizabeth’s college showing was unprecedented, with her first collection being sold exclusively at Browns. Shortly afterwards the Emanuel Salon opened in Brook Street.

In 1981, world interest focused on the marriage of Lady Diana Spencer to HRH. The Prince of Wales. It was the Emanuel’s now famous black evening dress that was to change overnight the image of a shy teenager into that of a future Princess. It was to Emanuel that Lady Diana Spencer turned to create the wedding dress of the century. 700 million television viewers around the world watched as the Emanuel name became a symbol overnight.

After the Royal Wedding the Emanuels further developed their special relationship with the Royal Household. They designed a major part of The Princess of Wales wardrobe for her Gulf Tour and appeared with her in an Independent Television documentary entitled ‘In Private – in Public’. At this time both HRH The Duchess of Kent and HRH The Duchess of York also became firm patrons of the Salon.

During the next few years Elizabeth developed her unique blend of fantasy and natural flair, building an extensive client list. A lavish coffee table book tracking the Emanuel glamour through the seasons of the year was commissioned by Pavilion Books and published in 1982.

In 1987 the Emanuel Shop was opened, bringing the Emanuels’ previously exclusive clothing to the general public. The collections also sold at Browns, Harrods and Harvey Nichols in London and Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Henri Bendel, Barneys and Neiman Marcus in the USA.

In 1990, Elizabeth was commissioned by Walt Disney, to design a gown for Snow White on her 60th anniversary. Later that year Elizabeth and David separated with Elizabeth retaining the Brook Street studio and salon under her then label ’ELIZABETH EMANUEL’.

Theatre and ballet design work continue to remain close to Elizabeth’s heart, creating wardrobes for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Song and Dance and ‘Cinderella’. Elizabeth also created costumes for the Ballet Rambert and for Robert North’s ‘Fabrications’ by the London Contemporary Dance Theatre, and for ‘Frankenstein, The Modern Prometheus’ first performed at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
