Emily Lacey is an image maker who works across styling and fashion photography, often taking on both roles in tandem to achieve her desired vision. She has worked with American Apparel, JW Marriott, Trask toothbrushes, Zara, and many more- although her favorite work is made in collaboration with her friends.
A Parsons School of Design graduate, she built her foundation working with independent designers before leading visual merchandising and brand activations at Charleston's luxury retailer Hampden — collaborating with labels including Proenza Schouler, Marni, and JW Anderson. After moving to Savannah in 2023, Emily helped establish Marmalade, a multibrand store where she directed sales, developed visual content, and managed collaborations with brands like Samsoe Samsoe and Staud.
Emily now owns and operates Cosimo, a concept store in Savannah’s historic downtown that embodies the collected experience of her life in art, fashion, and design. Cosimo offers unique styling perspectives across womenswear, menswear, home, and lifestyle. Emily has a hand in all facets of the business from buying to creative.
In addition to her work in editorial styling, Emily offers private personal styling coaching and image consulting, helping individuals refine their wardrobes and develop a confident, authentic approach to dress. Her personal styling clients include authors, airspace engineers, small business owners, and full-time mothers.
