The sharpest edge of taxi design with Emmy Collins

Emmy Collins is the avant-garde designer with a knack for sitting on the sharpest of edges of fashion excellence. Emmy’s sartorial creations are both fresh and daring, bordering on the debonair but decidedly cutting edge. The fleet of London taxis fitted with Superside advertisements hit the streets on 1st December 2010.

His ensembles do not hold back on the colour swatch and are made from the finest of fabrics. His latest creations include signature retro wide-lapel jackets and drainpipe trouse-rs reminiscent of styles that epitomized the spirit of 1950’s rock and roll. In addition to the appetizingly classic fit of his jackets, much attention was paid to smaller yet ever so distinguishing details like polka dots linings, the use of colourful 100% pure satin trims and in one case a biker jacket made of bleached blue denim mix with a silhouette cut to fit like a second skin. His recent play with accessories resulted in items like skinny silk print ties and chunky bow ties that come in an array of black, plaid and neon colours for that added touch of spice to outfits.

Emmy also caters to the other side of the isle with the introduction of darker pieces in shades of black, grey and earth tones thrown into the mix. Proving that he can make even neutral coloured garments exciting, tasteful and wearable. With the added choice of more subdued colours, the wearer has the opportunity to define his own style – whether toned down or colourful.

Emmy’s fashion influences include the legendary Afro beat musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti who had a sartorial penchant for smart, well fitted clothing often embellished with afro centric embroidery. His other icons include Jimmy Hendrix, Al Green and Lenny Kravitz.

Emmy himself is as eclectic as can be. A Dutch citizen of Nigerian origin, Emmy has never shied away from challenges and adventures. When he felt that his beloved city of Amsterdam did not nurture his fashion ambitions in the late 90’s, he jetted off to New York where he designed his own clothing and tested their impact by mixing in with the Big Apple’s glitterati including the likes of singer and songwriter, Prince, who complimented him on one of his outfits. Heading back to Europe following a hair’s breath escape from the September 11 attacks he decided to settle in London where according to him “London is it and east end is the new west end”.

Emmy Collins recently unveiled his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at the Pitti Immagine Uomo 78 men’s apparel fashion show in Florence, Italy. The new Emmy Collins flagship showroom in Shoreditch, London offers both ready-to-wear and bespoke services.

Taxi advertising really does work!

Not just driving hundreds of miles a day in Central London, passing famous landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, Piccadilly Circus, but this couple used a Samsonite Cosmolite branded taxi as their carriage at wedding in. . . Essex.
