With a bright colour spectrum at her figure tips, Emily Green is a Melbourne based designer who makes artworks and accessories that explore colour, chaotic geometric shapes and soft, organic forms. Her designs are inspired by her love of colour and the aesthetic of Melbourne’s inner north. Emily has studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Western Australia, a Graduate Diploma in Education and has studied Textile Design part-time at RMIT.At present, she work's from her studio in the Nicholas Building in the Melbourne CBD, where each piece in her collection are designed and handmade by her .

But did you know Melbourne’s favorite indie design darling is expanding her wearable neck accessories empire to include scarves? Yes, Emily has partnered with talented local artist and knit guru Lucy Hall to create a new range of knitted scarves. Collectively these two crafters have designed three cotton scarves in hues of fluorescent yellow, magenta and neon red, and a digitally printed watercolour silk version. These scarves could not have intervened at a more appropriate time, with the temperatures below 15. Each scarf looks super warm and extra long – and the fab colour combos are sure to alleviate any winter blues.
