Emy Fick

Emy Oscaria Charlotte Fick née Kylander (1876–1959) was a Swedish textile artist, educator and fashion designer.

After completing her education with study trips to Italy, France and Germany, she returned to Stockholm where she worked with textiles in the Nordiska Kompaniet department store.

While there, she met Elisabeth Glantzberg with whom in 1910 she established Birgittaskolan which not only offered courses but served as a fashion studio where textiles could be ordered.

Offering courses in sewing, embroidery and lace, the firm also satisfied orders for underwear, decorative textiles and rugs.

In 1925, she won both a gold and a bronze medal at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris.
