Sustainability has become a buzzword in the fashion industry, but your approach feels deeply intentional and integrated into your DNA. How do you elevate sustainable practices beyond trendiness to make them synonymous with luxury?
Since the start of ELLIZA we always wanted to have a brand that has transparency about our products and ethical ways of producing. For us it was always important to work with manufacturers that promote everyone in the right way; equal pay, equal chance for a better position and most importantly an ethical working environment. And now child labour. I think this goes beyond having a brand and is more a personal belief.

In an industry obsessed with the new, you advocate for timeless elegance. What does timelessness mean in the context of Elliza Couture, and how do you design pieces that transcend fleeting trends?
What we have always advocated for are clothing that can be worn in different ways and styles. When we started, logos and accessories were a really big thriving point in the fashion industry, but we also knew trends tend to fade away. That’s why when we design our clothing we keep longevity in mind. Our logo is used as an accessory emblem to enhance the design not to make it our main selling point if you don’t like it we make it possible to wear it without a logo.

Your commitment to eco-conscious fabrics is remarkable. How do you balance the challenges of sourcing sustainable materials with maintaining the quality and craftsmanship required for luxury couture?
When we are sourcing for fabrics we always try to avoid non sustainable fabrics, but if this isn’t possible we always search for manufacturers that recycle threads, clothes or give second life to old pieces. There is always room for improvement and innovation even for us we are no were near where we want to be.

Your designs radiate modernity while respecting traditional craftsmanship. How do you envision evolution in a world that demands both heritage and innovation?
When working on a new concept we always look at the history of a country laying a big emphasis on clothing that used to be popular/worn. Taking reference from an old concept or detail and modernizing it into our style is a creative way to express yourself and push old boundaries in a fresh way.

How does Elliza Couture draw inspiration from global cultures, and how do you weave these influences into the brand’s identity?
At ELLIZA we always base our collections on a city taking cultural references from their past and present and intertwine these into new ideas and designs. We try to respect these traditions as much as possible while still trying to create something innovative and refreshing. Drawing inspiration from global culture is the baseline of our designing process.

Luxury and sustainability are often seen as conflicting ideals. How do you challenge this perception, and what role does Elliza play in redefining what high fashion can be?
