About Elena Velez

Elena Velez is an American fashion designer and heterodox creative based in New York City. Her work is known for its synthesis of metalsmith and high fashion and has been featured in the V&A Museum and Barbican Centre. Velez was a semi-finalist for the 2024 LVMH prize and the CFDA's 2022 Emerging Designer of the Year.

Described by Vogue as "explosive and aggressive", Velez's work has been inspired by the craftsmanship of the American Rust Belt as well as reactionary aesthetics. Themes in her work include deconstruction, "apocalyptic anti-heroines", and alternative construction methods, which include salvaged materials. Velez coins her visual identity as "aggressively delicate" and "anti-fragile", frequently asserting the importance of "transgressive art".
