Emily Miles (July 31, 1910-June 11, 1999) was an African American fashion designer and entrepreneur. She was considered Newark, New Jersey's "first lady of fashion" and "the grand dame of black style in Newark". In 1998, she was inducted into the New Jersey Women's Hall of Fame and the Chicago Fashion Hall of Fame. Miles was a board member of the Harlem Fashion Institute under its founder Lois K. Alexander. She was an active member of The National Association of Fashion and Accessory Designers (NAFAD).
