See How '70s Fashion Darling Emma Winder Took on a Series of Whimsical Misadventures During NYFW

As a fashion enthusiast who has been captivated by the allure of the 1970s since my teenage years, I find Emma Winder to be a breath of fresh air in today’s fast-paced digital world. Her unique blend of classic rock-inspired style and contemporary flair is not just a fashion statement, but a testament to her personal journey and eclectic taste.


Fashion expert Emma Winder is reviving the ’70s era, one vintage lapel at a time. The productive YouTuber and content creator recently met with TopMob during New York Fashion Week to demonstrate how she juggles a busy schedule while still taking moments to savor her English breakfast tea. Armed with Samsung’s latest Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Z Flip6, Winder records the thrill and vitality of the eagerly awaited LaQuan Smith afterparty and other events.

Instead of embracing the 90s throwback styles popularized by Rynona Ryder and Paris Hilton, Winder prefers smart suits, pencil skirts, and gowns inspired by disco from the 1970s. A popular figure on TikTok and Instagram, this 22-year-old’s love for 70s fashion — characterized by paisley, corduroy, bold prints, patterns, and sharp lapels — leans more towards Saint Laurent’s iconic 1971 wartime collection and classic rock. As her father played The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Police, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac during her teen years — what she now realizes was timeless music — she became fascinated and delved deeper into this era of style. Since then, she’s developed a refined appreciation for clothing reminiscent of the ’70s, subtly referencing these bygone rock stars without resorting to caricature-like elements.

Originally from Brighton, England, Winder recently arrived in New York City for Fashion Week, attending the LaQuan Smith afterparty where she danced and mingled with the crowd. She also indulged in McDonald’s, captured memorable moments using the Galaxy Z Flip6, and shared her secret for navigating NYFW chaos: a cup of English breakfast tea, which she drinks from morning till night, having been a fan since she was just six years old. When feeling overwhelmed, Winder turns to boiling water and a comforting cup of this beloved beverage.

Next on the schedule is the Coach Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show, but amid the city’s energy and activity, Winder unfortunately finds herself passing up open doors, opting instead to savor a delicious slice of pizza. Standing outside the venue, she snaps photos of cheerful onlookers hoping for celebrity spotting, occasionally glancing at her Galaxy Ring to monitor her stress levels accurately.

I often find myself hearing about my friends’ daily step counts – ‘I took 60,000 steps today.’ Living in London means I walk a lot, so having this stylish ring and fitness tracker will help me monitor my own steps. Additionally, my sleep pattern is usually erratic. It’s beneficial to begin tracking my sleep habits, aiming to establish regular sleep schedules.

As I adorn my fingers with Samsung’s sleek Galaxy Ring, it becomes an integral part of my daily routine, guiding me towards maintaining optimal wellness. By monitoring metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and skin temperature, this device subtly alerts me when it’s time to hydrate, take a breather, enjoy a quiet tea break, or prepare for a peaceful eight-hour slumber.

Winder shows no signs of decreasing her pace, yet she remains receptive to the possibility that her stylistic tastes might evolve. Among the styles she’s come across in New York, one that particularly caught her eye is “Pirate Chic.” She explains, “This trend has already arrived in New York. It hasn’t made its way to London yet, but I plan on bringing it back with me. It’s characterized by silk blouses, an abundance of draped jewelry – bracelets, bangles, and rings. It’s all about velvet, textured fabrics, and lace trimming.

Content creation may appear straightforward at first glance, but it can be quite challenging, especially when capturing bustling events such as New York Fashion Week. However, Winder is learning to adapt and grow. “Don’t you think everyone has the potential to create content these days? It’s about finding your unique angle. I enjoy thinking beyond the ordinary and discovering new ways to capture something. We humans are naturally curious and nosy – we love peeking into other people’s lives. But when everyone is doing the same thing, we risk becoming mechanical.” Authenticity and creativity are crucial elements in this game, and Winder strives to express her true, quirky self. “If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for anything unusual, oddball, or simply goofy. After all, the bizarre is my alley!

Despite the rebellious vibe of the summer, for Winder, it’s all about channeling the spirit of the 1970s – whether in a pub or strolling through SoHo streets – regardless of the specific season.

Witness a day in the life of the trendy style icon, as portrayed in the videos and image galleries above.
