Emmanuelle Khanh is a French fashion house founded in 1969 by its namesake, a former model for Balenciaga who became a key figure in the 1960s ready-to-wear movement. Rejecting the restrictive nature of haute couture, Khanh envisioned a wardrobe for the modern, liberated woman, making her a contemporary of designers like Mary Quant. The brand is most famous for transforming eyewear into a true fashion accessory, launching its first collection in 1971. These iconic, oversized frames, often featuring bold geometric shapes and rich colors, became the brand's signature and a symbol of audacious, elegant style for an emancipated woman.
