EMIL STUDIO is an independent design studio specializing in garment design and construction led by Parsons graduate Emily Lugo.

Founded in Flagstaff, Arizona, the studio is rooted in artisanal craft, alternate construction methods, and regenerative practices. Mil Studio creates outdoor and workwear pieces, and offers services in tailoring and technical gear repair. The studio explores the intersection of material innovation and functional design, rethinking how garments move, perform, and adapt to the needs of everyday life.

TAILORING & REPAIRS

Custom fabrication, clothing and gear alterations, and repairs are available by request. Each piece is thoughtfully approached — mended where possible, reshaped when necessary, and finished to last. This work centers on extending the life of garments and gear, supporting responsible practices through care and craftsmanship.

Tailoring and repair services are offered in Flagstaff, Arizona and the surrounding areas. Remote consultation and service by mail may be accommodated.
