EMILI FOUNDER
Founder & Creative Director of EMILI exclusive design and EK art
Born in Strumica, Macedonia, Emili Pisheva Godzirova discovered her passion for fashion and art at an early age. As the middle of three sisters, she grew up surrounded by feminine energy that shaped her sensitivity, elegance, and artistic vision. Her childhood notebooks, filled with sketches and imaginative silhouettes, became her first creative studio and an early glimpse into her future as a designer.
AN ELEVATED INTERIOR EXPERIENCE
At the age of fifteen, after receiving her first sewing machine as a gift from her father, Emili began her creative journey. She started by designing and sewing garments for her sisters, gradually developing the precision and refined aesthetic that would later define her work.

EMILI exclusive design
In 2001, Emili founded EMILI exclusive design – a fashion house built on timeless elegance, artistic individuality, and an unmistakable signature style. Her designs are crafted as a fusion of art and femininity, often worn for the most meaningful moments: evening galas, proms, and weddings. Brides, as her purest source of inspiration, hold a special place in her creative world.

MAISON DETAILS
Emili is one of the rare designers who stands behind every step of the creative process – from concept and design to photography. She not only creates her pieces but also captures their essence through the lens, adding a visual storytelling dimension to her work. From the very beginning, her younger sister Blagica has been her model and later her creative partner, enriching the brand’s intimate and artistic identity. Together, they have shaped EMILI into a symbol of uniqueness and refined elegance, earning numerous recognitions and awards.
EK art – A SECOND LANGUAGE OF CREATIVITY
Emili’s artistic expression extends beyond fashion. Through EK art, her contemporary art studio, she creates modern and highly expressive artworks known for their emotional depth and visual impact. Her pieces have found homes in private collections both within Macedonia and internationally, and she has participated in many art exhibitions over the years.
