Career

The couple opened Emanuel Salon in Brook Street, Mayfair, following the birth of their two children, Oliver and Eloise. They decided to close their ready-to-wear store in 1979 so they could concentrate on the couture (custom made) side of the market, and Lady Diana Spencer's favourite designer.

The couple were selected to style Lady Diana Spencer's wedding dress for her marriage to Prince of Wales Charles, Prince of Wales, in 1981. The dress, which attracted over 700 million people worldwide, was made of ivory silk, pure taffeta, and antique lace, with 10,000 pearls and sequins, as well as a 25 ft train. "Creations by artists from Botticelli to Renoir and Degas were used as influences, as well as photographs of some of the country's most romantic women. The garments on Greta Garbo in Camille, Vivien Leigh with the Wind, and Marlene Dietrich in The Scarlet Empress were all recreated to some extent."

In 2005, a copy of the wedding gown was sold at auction for £100,000, twice the original estimate. The auction had sparked controversies. Madame Tussauds, the dress's owners, said it had been made "in the event of any hiccup or disaster" and that Lady Diana Spencer had attempted it on the morning of her wedding. "To say it is a direct replica is untrue," David Emanuel was quoted in the Western Mail. There is no such thing. We didn't make one. Diana has never worn this dress on, on her wedding day or some other time, and to my knowledge, never even saw it. It wasn't even made to her exact measurements, and we, of course, are the only ones to know." After the wedding in 1981, Diana's dress was given to Madame Tussauds, which was on display.

The Emanuels designed a major portion of the Princess of Wales' wardrobe for her Gulf Tour and appeared with her in a Public Television documentary named In Private - in Public. Both The Duchess of Kent and The Duchess of York became Salon patrons at this time.

The Emanuel Shop was first established in Beauchamp Place, Knightsbridge, in 1987, bringing the Emanuels' previously exclusive clothing to the general public. The collections were also available at: Browns, Harrods, and Harvey Nichols in London; Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Henri Bendel, Barneys, and Neiman Marcus in the United States.

Richard Thompson, a businessman from England, championed the Elizabeth Emanuel brand in 1998.

Elizabeth Emanuel, who divorced in 1990 and later divorced, owned the Brook Street studio and salon under her name Elizabeth Emanuel. Elizabeth was hired by The Walt Disney Company in the same year to create a gown for Snow White on the 60th anniversary of the film's 60th anniversary.

Emanuel created the entire range of Virgin Atlantic uniforms, luggage, and accessories in 1991. For the couple's wedding, she was also asked to create wedding dresses for Sir Richard Branson, Joan and their children. Following this, Britannia Airways asked Emanuel to create a brand new logo and uniform for service and cabin crew, which was launched in April 1997. Emanuel created the costumes for the full-length feature film Middleton's Changeling, directed by Marcus Thompson and starring Ian Drury and Billy Connolly, which went on general release in 1999.

In 1997, she entered Hamlet International in order to expand the company. She gave them their company and all of their assets in order to license new products, and together, they formed Elizabeth Emanuel Plc. However, the company and registered trade mark were sold to Frostprint, which shortened the company's name to Elizabeth Emanuel International, as it went into administration. After one month, Emanuel was gone, and shortly after, the registered trade mark was sold to Oakridge Trading, owned by Manchester businessman Shami Ahmed. The BBC produced two 45-minute documentaries of her career over two years, Frock Horror Show and Blood on the Carpet, after the pair fell out and Emanuel went to court to regain her brand as a result of a huge public interest. In a historic hearing, Emanuel dismissed the lawsuit.

Emanuel chose to concentrate on the latter because she was contractually tied to either producing public service or sole commissions for a brand she did not own or singular commissions. Elizabeth Hurley appeared in October 1997 and was hired to produce the wedding dress for Estee Lauder's forthcoming international television campaign for the fragrance Beautiful. Elizabeth Hurley was once more commissioned by Estee Lauder in July 1998 for their Pleasures campaign.

She worked as a designer for The Luxury Brand Group from 2001 to 2002, focusing on the growth of their newly acquired Norman Hartnell brand. Emanuel created the costumes for a short film starring David Ginola, which was shot in France and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in November 2003. Vanessa Mae designed violinist Vanessa Mae's outfit and dancers' costumes for the Classic Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2004. For his musical The Hunting of the Snark first appeared at The Albert Hall, Emanuel fabricated costumes with Mike Batt.

The Ballet Rambert and Robert North's Fabrications by the London Contemporary Dance Theatre were both designed for the Ballet Rambert and Robert North's Fabrications. The costumes for Wayne Eagling's film Frankenstein, The Modern Proteus, were also designed by her.

She opened her own studio in Little Venice in August 2005 and attended the unveiling of her new brand Art of Being.

In February 2007, Emanuel produced Metamorphosis, one of the wedding dresses from which was featured in the film Outlaw, directed by Nick Love. Both Emanuel's name and the Art of Being brand are included in the credits. Emanuel created a range of wedding gowns for high-end department store chain British Home Stores in February 2008, as well as designing pieces for both ITV's The X Factor and Britain's Next Top Model.

Emanuel's first brand, Art of Being, was launched in 2010, reflecting "the faded grandeur and decadence of Venice at the turn of the century." Gresham Ltd, a finance company, contracted with "Lord" Edward Davenport's finance company, to grow the company, Davenport accepted a £1 million loan after Emanuel deposited £20,000 in approval and due diligence fees. Davenport was jailed in September 2011 for his role in a £4.5 million advanced-fee scam.

During London Fashion Week in September 2010, Emanuel returned to the catwalk displaying her Little Black Dress Collection.
