About Me

Emelia Olkkola

Fashion Marketing & Promotion student, editorial stylist, and beauty enthusiast based in London.

Background

I'm a Fashion Marketing & Promotion student at the University of Westminster, London, with a genuine passion for beauty, jewelry, and the way styling communicates identity. My background spans editorial direction, retail styling, visual merchandising, and customer-facing beauty consulting.

I've worked across a range of environments — from managing editorial content at Gemini Magazine to dressing models at the Wall & Jones Fashion Show in London — and I bring the same care and attention to detail to every project I take on.

Originally from Dover, NH, USA, I also completed pre-college coursework at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, giving me a strong transatlantic foundation in fashion marketing, content creation, and management.

Awards

Scholastic Art Award — Award in sustainable jewellery innovation, February 2023.
