ABOUT THE BRAND
“It’s not easy to create things that shine with an air of grace, but that’s precisely what we do best.”
Effortless. Elevated. Elegant.
Where the classic becomes the conversation piece.
The best pieces in your wardrobe are the ones that make you feel like yourself, only better! Elevated, confident, and completely at ease.
Before launching my namesake label in 2020, I spent years designing for brands that helped define how women dress. However, I sought something more personal—eventwear that didn’t feel like a costume. Clothing that could accompany a woman’s life, not just a moment. A brand where a pearl-covered t-shirt, a sculptural ball skirt, and a gown with the elegance of Old Hollywood—without feeling retro—could coexist and make perfect sense. I strive to create clothes that don’t wear you.
Each piece begins with a timeless idea, reimagined through detail, texture, and craftsmanship. I design every collection in New York, collaborating with master artisans and custom fabrics, many of which feature our patented beading techniques. The result is a wardrobe of modern heirlooms: versatile, collectible, and meant to be worn repeatedly.
We’ve built a community of women who style our pieces in their own way: mothers and daughters, best friends, brides, and honored guests. There’s strength in knowing your clothes express exactly what you need, without ever raising their voice.

The Story Behind the Label
Emily Shalant launched in 2020 under the creative direction of Emily Shalant and with Evelyn Anastos as President and Director of Global Sales. From the outset, the brand aimed to design clothing that accompanies women through their most meaningful moments. Versatility is a pillar of the brand’s DNA: a taffeta skirt made for galas, later styled with flats. A hand-beaded top paired with vintage denim and classic dresses that are beautifully detailed without ever being costumey. Pieces designed to live with you, not just hang in your closet.
Today, the brand is carried in over 200 luxury boutiques around the world and loved by stylists, brides, and women of all ages who return to the line season after season. Everything is still envisioned in Emily’s New York studio and crafted in partnership with expert artisans, utilizing exclusive materials and patented techniques. It's easy to make a young, beautiful woman look amazing, but our aim has always been to highlight the beauty in each of us at any age. We credit a lot of our success to our commitment to the perfect fit. Simply put, you don’t need to be a size two to look amazing; our fit accommodates all shapes and sizes.
Every day can be elegant, and that beauty is most powerful when it’s personal.
