Elena Velez's version of feminism involves sheer ship sail dresses, metal corsets, and dirt.
Velez has also made looks for Kali Uchis, Grimes, Charli XCX, Arca, Kim Petras, Tinashe, Rico Nasty, and Caroline Polachek. Solange Knowles wore Velez’s steel rebar bodice for a shoot with Numéro Berlin,actress Diane Guerrero wore a PVC topless harness from her Homecoming capsule collection"for no damn reason," the designer says.Making high-fashion from scraps is Velez’s specialty.
It's a deconstructed, anti-beauty approach to gorgeous fashion, similar to what we saw in Rick Owens's smoke-filled fall 2022 show, or in Yohji Yamamoto's perfectly chaotic fall ready-to-wear collection.
In fact, for every one of her collections and drops, she has involved fairly unknown artists, often from her town, and highlighted the partnerships as the welding of two equal visions, rather than a star and her accessories. One of her longest collaborations has been with Nelson Kies, a Milwaukee metal worker who, after working with Velez, launched his own jewelry brand: Nels Studio.
