ELENA miCHALEA
FASHION & ART DIRECTOR
My passion is to narrate stories visually and I am fiercely motivated and inspired by emotions and art.
I believe that fashion can act like art but simultaneously should be functional.
Art and fashion can work together in order to infuse people with moral codes beyond time.
I want to explore people’s intimate sphere by challenging them to confront their forgotten feelings and their inner battles.

ABOUT
As Fashion & Art Director I am constantly inspired by emotions and art. Being stimulated by truthfulness, I need to feel emotionally connected with what I am doing and I credit that visual aesthetics are the best narrator of any story. I am passionate about scenography; where combining all elements can convey a feeling or transport you in a new world, in a bubble. I pay tribute to research, accuracy and multitasking. Thrilled about the soul of fashion's industry, the beginning of everything: fabric! Being motivated from designers who are keen on using fabric in the most innovative way, I am deeply in love with this magic world of raw materials. I am inquisitive and always updated in this area.
Education

-
BA in Textile, investigating the materials and the origins of clothes
