About Us
Elven Design Art is located in Europe, Romania and represents a concept boutique online shop that offers handmade couture fashion accessories & exclusive high quality pieces created with passion and attention to details.
The designer behind this concept is a young sophisticated girl in an ongoing search of the hidden beauty of the wonderful simplicity of this world pervaded by emotions and dreams – an interior and fashion designer, a complete artist trying many forms of arts and the creator of the brand developed by extending the very concept already known as Elven Design Art.
"I’m an inspired creative artist, with a consistent background, many years of study and hard work within the field of arts & design, merging with a strong wish of achieving refinement and a special gift for displaying an extravagant style through my own unique pieces of craftsmanship. All of these bearing the seal of an exquisite trend of Gothic-Baroque-Art Nouveau inspiration meant to meet the demands of a public eager to experience a newly-issued taste of setting off the great adventure of the senses experience voyage.
After finishing the mathematics specialised highschool classes , I followed my dream and I enrolled for the University of Architecture & Design "Ion Mincu" in Romania which is one of the most prestigious universities in Europe for this domain. I also have a Master Degree at the National University of Arts, specialised in design, mural art and art for the public spaces.
I have had many collaborations with artists from musical background, worldwide photographers, television broadcasters and I took part in profile TV shows & famous mall events hence I had the opportunity to present on stage special art & design performances, and also I have been asked to collaborate with widely known publications from the fashion world.
The most stunning feature has been released on the well-known fashion magazine, Vogue Portugal, the April 2014 issue, where the columns showed within its lines my achievements and profile. It is focused on a luxury theme featuring along with famous names in the fashion design as Roberto Cavalli, John Galliano and Valentino, whereas the images of the models wearing my craft headpiece in a ”scene” seemingly echoing the Renaissance old times with an unique piece I have made in my own style, inspired by the traditional „Kanzashi Geisha” head ornaments.
I use mixed techniques for my creations in which I include only only beautiful high refined & exquisite materials like: Swarovski® crystals, gemstones, natural pearls, silver, lace & embroidery, silk flowers , leather, filigree and unique vintage elements.
I indulge myself in attempting new experience within the art realm and it occurs to me quite often to be asked if it is a single person involved in this craftsmanship behind my items as they are shown up on my site. Yes, indeed, I am doing on my own every single item one could visualize in my shop!
I'm being totally absorbed by everything that's magical and beautiful around me I am raving over, all that stands for the historical touch all around while travelling, the loved persons that exist in my life and, of course, not to forget my studio which keeps the seal of my style. There's also a spiritual aspect in my life and all of my creations have a touch of my special focus I do attach to emotions, love, empathy and ethics value.
I’m proud I have succeeded by my own to express my artistic potential, hard working and letting my imagination to run widely in order to bring into limelight my personal style and to make me known on the international fashion world. My artworks become better with each step I make and I will always create with passion and dedication for each one of my clients." - Raluca Elf
