Emily Spivack’s work spans culture, fashion, and social innovation. She has spent the past ten years exploring the way that clothing functions from a variety of cultural, historical, and therapeutic perspectives.

“Susan Orlean

I guess it's probably safer to be this way bout clothing than men or religion or something that could be really dangerous. I'm quite pragmatic about other choices in my life, but with clothing I'm a romantic - I abandon myself completely and the practical side get trumped. I become a zealot.”
Emily Spivack, Worn Stories

“Doesn’t it just kill you? Can you imagine an eighteen year old girl coming back from the bus station to her room and seeing that the guy she loved had left his shirt for her? He knew. He just knew it, and it was beautiful.”
Emily Spivack, Worn Stories

“My name sounded strained and ugly in his accent. He was giving me so much, and all I felt was the fatigue of trying to want it.”
Emily Spivack, Worn Stories
