Emilie Dundee Odeile made her mark in the world of high fashion, where her moody knitwear appeared on the runways of New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. Her designs found their way into film, commercials, and magazines, worn by some of entertainment’s most iconic figures. She was officially recognized by the City of Los Angeles for her “bold entrepreneurship and inspiring artistry.”
Over time, her focus shifted — from garments to environments, from adornment to immersion. Emilie creates large-scale fiber installations rooted in the textile techniques she once used in fashion, now adapted for sculptural form. Her work draws on an ever-expanding range of materials and methods, challenging conventional ideas of craft. She explores scale, storytelling, and material possibility — a sensibility reflected in Goodnight Moon – A Fiber Tale, her 500-square-foot replica of the Great Green Room, made from 152 miles of yarn and nearly six million stitches.
In 2025, Emilie was named Startup Colorado’s inaugural Artist in Residence, recognized for the “ambition and scale” of her work and its “capacity for bringing stories to life.”
