Someone who knows all about the wonder to be found in the weird is Fashion Designer Emily Miller-Sharma. Dressing is part of daily life, so Emily approaches clothing design with a personal and emotional attachment. She believes that as designers, you talk to each person who interacts with your creations – even if you are not necessarily in the room with them – and the onus is on the designer to ensure that you are enhancing the user’s experience. It’s this kind of cool anonymity that has seen the Liam brand soar in popularity under her direction, being named in Metro Magazine’s Best Women’s Clothing Label List in 2015.
