Emily took a turn out in the limelight this week when Otago Daily Times Fashion-i reporter, Jen Hughson, came to interview her at the Silkbody studio.

The world authority on colour and colour trends, Pantone, recently announced their Colour for 2013. And the winner? Emerald.

Emily, Sam (playing the role of photographer - multi-talented doesn’t begin to cover it!), and model Rebekah hit the streets of Dunedin on a sunny Tuesday to get the launch images for Silkbody’s new range.

Our ever-stylish Company Director, Emily Cooper, recently took a star turn in NZ Life & Leisure magazine's summer edition. Emily, husband Sam, and adorable daughter Mae were photographed at their wagon in Duntroon. The wagon graced the cover of the issue and of course the whole family were looking suitably relaxed yet chic in their Silkbody clothing.

Silkbody is made from all natural fibres. We do not add any treatments to improve anti-static, flame retardance, wash-and-wear or anti-bacterial properties because silk is already naturally endowed with these properties. We are especially proud of our Natural White as it's 100% natural - undyed and unbleached.

Luxury Weekend of Fashion at iD Dunedin to be won - valued at $1000!

Dunedin based Fashion Designers (and sisters!) Tamsin Cooper and Emily Cooper of Silkbody, celebrate their joint iD Dunedin Fashion Week catwalk debut with a prize draw that will present two very lucky people with an extravagant fashion weekend in Dunedin. 

We’re pretty excited to be launching our new Winter 2011 range alongside our new-look website and new editorial campaign.

Our gorgeous model Hannah, her husband Marc and baby Solomon were our models back in October. Dunedin put on a suitably wintry day on Day 2, but Day 1 was decidedly summery. We hope you like our new shots!

The website is now segmented by style (tops, cardigans, jackets and hoodies etc) so it should be much easier to find what you’re looking for. The editorial shots are used throughout the site to show off the garments as part of an actual outfit. Why didn’t we do this sooner?
