This season Dior embroidered luck itself into a bag. I gave it the sky.

The Lady Dior Clover — the house’s talisman as read by Jonathan Anderson, Spring–Summer 2026: embroidered four-leaf clovers covering a nineties icon, with a tiny ladybug tucked between the leaves, visible only up close. The motif reaches back into the Dior archive, to the Trèfle à Quatre Feuilles dress, and to Monsieur Dior himself, who always kept a clover in his suit pocket. And to the Northern Irish roots of Anderson — the first person since Christian Dior himself to lead the house as sole creative director.

My unofficial reading of the campaign: I let it float where luck lives — open sky, clovers still growing, the ladybug just landed.

This is what I do for maisons: illustration that lets a piece breathe.

Study N°1 — Chanel.

March 2026: Blazy fills the Grand Palais with construction cranes and opens his show notes with Gabrielle’s own words — «we need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly.» A caterpillar by day, a butterfly by night.

He pushed the house past tweed into gauze, lurex, silicone, silk mousseline — fabrics that behave like weather. None of it can be described with an outline. So I drew the air instead, and left every edge open.

Swipe for the whole study — references, composition, palette, the one blue flower that holds it all together.

Some looks ask to be drawn. This one insisted.

From Iris van Herpen Official’s Sonic Starquakes couture: enormous loops of translucent organza circling the body — like magnetic fields made visible — over a bodysuit embroidered in spiralling beadwork. A collection born from starquakes, spiral galaxies and plasma.

I drew it the way she builds it — layer by layer, line by line. Every line by hand, no AI.

I flew from San Francisco to New York — and ended up creating with Iris van Herpen Official at the same table.

At her performance at the Brooklyn Museum we sat side by side, shaping small pieces that later became part of her dress. We talked about nature — the water, the wind, the things that inspire us both.

And then The Washington Post Shane O'Neill published a photo of that very moment — me and Iris at the same table✨

How wonderful is that: you can just meet a designer you admire and talk — simply, human to human. That conversation left these illustrations in my hands.

If you could sit at a table with one designer — who would it be? 👇

Water, held for a second.

An illustration inspired by ’s new collection — the way the fabric moves like a wave that hasn’t broken yet. I draw every day, and some collections simply pull the pencil out of my hand.

What I Saw / What I Made — an ongoing study in transformation.

I’m a fashion artist. My work has always started with looking: how light lands on a surface, how a shape carries a feeling. Sometimes what I see refuses to stay an image — it asks to be held.

So I turn to clay. A meadow becomes a plate. A jellyfish becomes a vase. The observed becomes the object.

Every piece is hand-built, hand-painted, one of one.

I’m Elena — a fashion illustrator who makes a collection feel something. 🌊

I don’t just draw the clothes. I turn fashion into emotion: campaign key art that breathes, editorial that stops the scroll, product storytelling, and stills I bring to life with motion. Illustration built not only to be admired — but to do a job.

I speak fashion fluently — house codes, runway energy, the soul of a collection — like my take on Louis Vuitton’s SS27 men’s show. Oils, digital, finished by hand.

Creative directors, fashion houses, editorials — if you want visuals that move your audience, let’s create something unforgettable.

“Whatever the Weather” — and Pharrell means it.

For SS27, Louis Vuitton lets go of the old, slow idea of travel — the aristocratic grand tour — for how we really move now: fast, global, unpredictable, through rain and wind and changing skies. A wardrobe made to move with the weather, not hide from it: bags beaded like raindrops, denim washed as if by the sea, a quiet nod to surf and the pull of the wave.

So I didn’t paint the clothes — I painted the climate they live in. A sea breeze, light sinking through water, the monogram dissolving into the current. Because that’s what this collection is really about: not standing still, but belonging to the movement.
