Gavel Paris

The brand GAVEL, founded by the designer himself, was established in 2010 in Poland. He studied fashion design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. For over 10 years, his unique

and mysterious creations, made primarily of Italian silk, alpaca, and leather, have quickly become recognizable among Polish fashionistas and celebrities. GAVEL, often invited to collaborate with the press and media, boasts publications of his designs in fashion magazines and numerous TV programs. His projects have been appreciated and recognized by personalities in the fashion world, bloggers, actors, journalists, and singers. The brand has opened three boutiques in Poland: one in his hometown and two others in the capital where he spends most of his time. GAVEL did not stop there and, in 2023, decided to expand and explore the international market. After a year and the opening of a second boutique in the 8th arrondissement, where he discovers a new style of clientele, he decides not to extend his contract with the company and, in the spring summer of 2025 season, relaunches his own brand under the name GAVEL Paris. Staying true to his inspirations from nature and contemporary fashion, he blends contrasting fabrics and materials, combining modern plastics, soft linings, delicate feathers, and metal studs with his imagination.
The first collection is always crucial for a designer as it sets the foundation for the brand and its style. This is why it is meticulously presented at Paris Fashion Week, a major event where every aspect must be flawless. A successful first collection can thus propel a designer toward international recognition and establish their credibility in the fashion world. The success of a designer depends on their ability to create collections that meet clients’ expectations while reflecting their imagination and personal universe. It is essential for a designer to craft pieces that resonate with the audience and capture the essence of their artistic vision. GAVEL is recognized not only among globally renowned Polish stars but also with an international clientele. He continues to strive for global recognition by innovating in design and garment structure, adopting bolder, stronger, and more pragmatic approaches.

Amor Emel

Fashion should be seen as wearable art and not labeled simply as pieces of clothing. This is the impact fashion designer and owner of the brand Amor Emel wishes to make in the industry.Amor Knight-Miller is inspired by nature and the mysteries of the universe; while adopting a very classy, chic and sophisticated style in her work. Amor also receives a lot of inspiration for her work from herself and life experiences. Art and design have always been a part of Amor however, she does not view it as a career skill rather she views designing and creating as a natural compulsion. Amor is a very open artist and is quite resistant to structure, she prefers for things to flow, carrying their own shape and integrity.

Amor Emel’s new spring/summer 2025 collection is a masterful blend of fashion and elegance, staying true to the brand’s distinctive style. The collection features a neutral color palette, allowing the dramatic silhouettes to take center stage. With 10 unique high fashion looks, each piece captures the essence of sophistication and modernity. This highly anticipated collection will be showcased in Paris, France, in September 2024, promising to leave a lasting impression on the global fashion scene.
