WHO'S BEHIND THE NAME?




One of the most recognized designers in Barcelona, and still few people know her name. This is partly her own choice, well she insists on staying anonymous. The name is Elena Martin. 4 words can describe her: creativity on it's own. Born & raised in Barcelona, graduated in Fashion Design in Saint Martin's school of art in London, her roots go back to the electronic & underground scene of boths cities as well as the video art & theatre scene. This young spanish designer doesn't stop impressing us with her continusly growing creativity and her unique way of working with prints in her unisex garments. Collection after collection she keeps evolving and making her style one of a kind skipping from one big inspiration to another passing from Martin Parr's photography to the big, dry desserts of Texas, Utah. Her tone begins with a mood of optimism and romantic lightness, before turning into an ironic and urban one through the characters of her prints and the masculinity of her garments.
