Apparently 109 girls don't believe in comfortable lingerie...

overall 'cute' got the most votes!

This project is a combination of my experiences as a design student x modeling in New York and Tokyo 

I'm interested in NY in the 70s, french lingerie, and the women's body

My friend Zach (studied Fashion Design at Parsons) and I are joining forces this summer to produce a lingerie line that encourages (Japanese) girls to be comfortable expressing themselves. I wish for this brand to grow on them and to bring out their natural beauty. women, we are BEAUTIFUL!!

We are designing fit, comfortable pieces that are simple + cute. the idea is to have them worn seamlessly. like it's part of their body. or worn like their meant to be seen. or somewhere in between..

I wish to do a promotional something by the end of the summer, some events in the winter, and a launch party/pop up store by next summer! (if all goes as planned) 

I'll keep you updated through my blog:)

KIDS!

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 Australian 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.
