About Emma
A Copenhagen-based fashion curator helping women discover their signature style through Scandinavian minimalism and timeless elegance.

"Elegance is not about being noticed, it's about being remembered."

The Journey
Emma's journey into fashion began unexpectedly during a rainy afternoon in Stockholm, where she stumbled into a vintage boutique and discovered a 1960s Marimekko dress that changed everything. That moment sparked a fascination with how clothing could tell stories and transform confidence. After studying fashion design in Copenhagen and working with several Nordic brands, she realized her true calling wasn't just creating fashion—it was helping women curate wardrobes that reflected their evolving identities.
Turning 30 was a pivotal moment for Emma. She noticed how the fashion industry often overlooked women entering this exciting decade, treating it as if style should suddenly become conservative or invisible. Instead, Emma experienced her 30s as a time of clarity and confidence, where she finally understood what worked for her body, lifestyle, and values. This insight inspired her to create TrendsetterTales, a space where elegance meets practicality, and where sustainable choices don't mean sacrificing style.
Today, Emma splits her time between her minimalist apartment in Copenhagen's Vesterbro district and travels throughout Scandinavia, discovering emerging designers and time-tested beauty secrets. Whether she's exploring clean beauty brands in Copenhagen, hunting for the perfect cashmere sweater, or sharing her morning skincare ritual, Emma brings an authenticity that resonates with women who want to look polished without the pressure of perfection. Her mission is simple: to prove that style after 30 isn't about following rules—it's about writing your own.
