HELLO, ELA !
Please tell us where you are based, and what your biggest passion is.

I am based in New York City. As a costume designer my greatest passion is telling stories through clothing.

2. Who Are Your 3 Favourite Musicians ?

Three of my favorite musicians would be Bjork, Sedvaliza and Zola Jesus.

3. What Are Your 3 Favourite Items In Your Wardrobe ?

I love collecting clothes and since I began styling it really opened my world. When I visit my designer friends I always discover something new they’ve created to add to my collection.

My three favorite pieces at the moment would be my beautiful bow top by Moon Chang it makes every look more fun.
An incredible brown dress by Eleen Halvorsen I spotted in the corner of her studio that I had to have - the dress has metal in the fabric it’s unbelievable.
And my red Mac Lebihan gown. Marc Lebihan was a great inspiration to be as a designer so when I finally got a hold of one of his dresses it really meant the world to me.

4. Where is Your Best Destination for A Trip ?

I love the eccentricity of Eastern Europe and I am anxiously waiting for the borders to open to head to Scandinavia.

5. Best Hidden Spots In Your City ?

Traditional tea houses, but I found out my favorite tea shop recently closed in the city :( I’m so sad.

My second favorite place in the city is this little place called “Vintage Thrift Shop”. It’s a little treasure chest of wonders. I always make a trip there when I need inspiration.
