Women's Fashion Brands E

Welcome to the E section of the Women's Fashion Brands directory. In this area of the fashion brand directory you will find women's fashion brands from leading apparel companies and fashion designers that begin with the letter E: 14 brand profiles in all, gathered in the grid below in the original directory's listing order. When browsing this directory you will find some of the most stylish clothing and hottest fashion labels in the world of ladies fashion - and in this letter, a cross-section that runs from a Wausau shoe clinic to a Florentine palazzo without changing its initial.

If you know of an important women's fashion brand that begins with the letter E and is not listed in this section, please let us know, as the original E hub invited readers to do. And if you prefer to search by clothing category rather than by a specific clothing brand, the Clothes Guide linked from this page organises the same wardrobe by garment instead of by name.

Fourteen Brands, From Shoe Clinics to the Prince of Prints

The letter opens, as the original directory listed it, with Eastbay - begun in 1980 when Richard Gering and Art Juedes set up shoe clinics near Wausau, Wisconsin with about $7,000 worth of running shoes, and the direct-to-mail division of Foot Locker, Inc. since 1997. Ecko follows with the shortest honest record in the letter: since 1993, Ecko Unltd. has presented itself as the leading face of global youth culture, and its profile keeps exactly that claim. Eddie Bauer carries the outdoors through the letter - innovation, quality and an appreciation of the outdoors as its founder's cornerstone passions, from high-performance technical pieces to ultra-warm sweater knits, in regular, petite, plus and tall sizes. Ed Hardy brings tattoo art to clothing: Don Ed Hardy's Japanese-influenced imagery, licensed by Christian Audigier in 2005, peaked at more than $700 million in gross revenue in 2009 and collapsed quickly in 2009-2010.

The designer houses anchor the middle of the letter. Eileen Fisher, the American designer whose work is characterised by simplicity, built a culture and an ethos around great design - simple, sensual, beautiful, timeless, functional - with a 2018 sustainability pledge covering organic cotton and linen, ethical merino and recycled polyester. Elie Tahari debuted with dance dresses and blouses at Studio 54 in 1977, then turned in the 1980s to the tailored suit as women joined the business elite. Elisabeth by Liz Claiborne was the house's plus size clothing brand, carrying Anne Elisabeth Jane Claiborne's colourful mix-and-match career separates into plus sizes before the Liz Claiborne brands were sold to J.C. Penney in October 2011 for about $288 million. Ella Moss, established in 2001 in Los Angeles by Pamella Protzel and named from two nicknames, is boho-chic in three words - hip, quirky, fashionable - now owned by Delta Galil Industries. Ellen Tracy, founded in 1949, balances youthful attitude with grown-up glamour in career wear that never shies away from colour.

Italy and the shoe floor complete the letter. Emilio Pucci, the Florentine Marchese crowned The Prince of Prints, paired kaleidoscope geometric prints signed 'Emilio' with patented stretch silk and cotton jerseys that liberated women to move and travel. Enzo Angiolini, established in 1985, offered exquisitely crafted Italian footwear and timeless sophistication without the high price point, and is carried on after its founder's death in 1993. Ermenegildo Zegna, founded in 1910 on his father's textile looms and still family-owned in its fourth generation, is this directory's menswear house - kept here for its fabrics and tailoring tradition, and labelled honestly as such. Esprit, founded in San Francisco in 1968 by Susie and Doug Tompkins, stands for effortless style, authenticity and easy-going living in made-to-last casual clothing. And Etienne Aigner closes the letter: the Hungarian-born, Paris-trained Man With the Golden Hands, whose New York showroom opened in 1959, whose horseshoe A marks two houses in New York and Munich, and whose cordovan leathers and hand-woven textiles set the leather-goods standard for the letter.

Where the original E pages pointed readers onward - to the Don Ed Hardy definition, the Christian Audigier designer profile, the Iconix Brand Group and Delta Galil company profiles, the Liz Claiborne news pages, the Ermenegildo Zegna designer profile, and the other letters of this directory from A to Z - those editorial links are carried in the rebuilt pages, woven into the copy or listed under More to Explore. The letter grid below carries the 14 profiles in the original directory's order, and the alphabet bar above carries the other letters of the women's brands directory.

Every profile in this letter follows the brands rule for this directory: the facts are the originals' facts - founding years, designers, ownership changes, sales and licensing deals as the original pages stated them - with shopping guidance built around them and nothing invented in between. All fourteen profile originals were fetched live for this rebuild, so their links and photos are inventoried from the pages themselves. Start with the name you came for, or read the letter whole: E is a good letter to browse, because almost every way of dressing a woman - athletic, outdoor, tailored, printed and bohemian - is represented in it.
