Emilia Papinska - About

Profile

a passionate fashion and product designer who values creativity, innovation, and meaningful storytelling through design. I believe in balancing aesthetics with functionality and always aim to create designs that connect with people and make an impact.

Experience

I specialise in footwear, accessories, and collection development, creating visually striking designs that merge style, purpose, and a deep understanding of the target audience. For me, design isn’t just about beauty — it’s about clarity, function, and emotion.

What I Do

With extensive experience across diverse product categories — footwear, bags, soft accessories, swimwear, and apparel — I handle the full design process:
Trend research & forecasting (WGSN, fashion shows, social insights)
Developing mood boards, color palettes, and patterns
Designing technical sketches, branding elements, and visuals
Selecting fabrics, trimmings, and materials
Managing sample development and supplier coordination
I understand the fast-fashion workflow from concept to production and work closely with product managers, buyers, and technologists to deliver commercially successful designs.

Trends forecast
A space where I share trough social media like Instagram, Tik-tok and Youtube the fashion trend forecasts and insights based on analysing fashion shows, fashion weeks, and WGSN. I break down runway trends into big-picture aesthetics, looking at overall silhouettes, colours, and styling, as well as specific product categories like knitwear, bags, and footwear, translating them into visual and easy-to-understand content..
