Emilia Wickstead (born June 1983) is a New Zealand fashion designer based in London, England.

[1] Wickstead studied fashion design and marketing at Central Saint Martins art school in London and interned in New York at Giorgio Armani and Vogue magazine.

She created a small collection of clothes and held showings for family and friends in her living room, taking orders for made-to-measure items.
