Elevany. 


3 Girls. 3 Walks of Life. Coming Together As One. 


In the contemporary world of fashion we live in today, style exists amid a coexistence of  individualism and prevailing taste. At the center of a truly cosmopolitan community, three girls of mixed backgrounds and different lifestyles come together as one to create a single collection, like separate streams of water converging into one river, reflecting a collaborative dialogue of where their worlds, stories, and emotions of being half overlap in today's society.


Naomi Sundberg (21, half American half Japanese), Minami Kinjo (21, half New Zealand half Japanese), and Frankie Cihi (22, half American half Japanese) all attended international schools in Tokyo, Japan, and are now studying and working as artists of different genres. In essense, Elevany is a meeting point between East and West, Fashion and Fine Art, Individualism and Collaboration. It is our goal to express and explore the depths of our own identities and let fashion act as a vehicle to carry out and unite our separated yet interlinked worlds.
