Emma Bruschi

Emma Bruschi graduated from the Haute école d’art et de design (HEAD) in Geneva with a Master’s degree in Fashion and Accessories Design in 2019. As a fashion designer, she was awarded the 19M Prix des Métiers d’art de CHANEL at the 35th Festival International de Mode, de Photographie et d’Accessoires de Mode in Hyères (2020) for her Almanach collection.

Raw materials, craftsmanship, transmission, and experimentation lie at the core of her practice. She considers territory as a primary resource, drawing inspiration from places that hold personal significance. A sense of nostalgia, calm, and slowness characterizes her work.

Since 2021, she has been cultivating rye on her family’s farm, using it in the production of garments, accessories, and harvest bouquets. Her aim is to cultivate the land and work with her own materials, bridging the roles of farmer and designer. In 2024, she published Savoir & Faire: Objets et gestes d’autrefois, a book exploring forgotten techniques through a collection of ten objects.
