Challenge
Maria received an old GDR sewing machine as a gift from a friend who found it on the street. It marked the beginning of a new phase.
Since María’s childhood she had few but good and lasting clothes that went from one sister to another and still seemed new.
The challenge was to create a brand that would produce stylish and long lasting garments.

Solution & Result
Today, Maria is a fashion designer and the founder of the slow fashion brand EME Clothing. EME stands for sustainable, timeless unisex fashion with a sense of responsibility.
Her three tips for founders are:
Regularly visit places where you enjoy being. It helps with motivation!
You don’t have to do everything alone – find a group of like-minded individuals for productive exchange.
Try to view your business objectively when figuring out what is going well and what needs improvement. This helps you get better every day.
