Elsi Marie Fall/Winter 23

There is about a week until my coming Fall/Winter 2023 Collection is released! So I wanted to talk about it in more detail! While I have created multiple collections before, they are normally more curated for special events. I wanted to create a new collection that is more wearable, consisting of items I want in my closet this winter.

My design process for this Fall/Winter 23 collection was a little different than normal. My timeline was especially different as I am not presenting this collection on a runway. As always, I began with my brainstorming page and then some sketches (see left). But, being in the city has opened up many opportunities. Instead of beginning my fabric search online, I walked 10 minutes to the NYC garment district! I spent about half my day there finding the most perfect fabrics! I walked back and began to work! Instead of having my huge, organized, and ideal sewing room set up, I pulled my sewing machine out from under my bed to set it up on my dorm desk! While my dorm room allows me to create just fine, I definitely miss the luxury of my sewing room,, especially my dress forms.

From this collection you can expect deep and warm colors, large silhouettes, and of course, to love it! So get excited! This collection consists of the perfect garments to gift to your most fun, girly, and maximalist friends and family this holiday season!
