Timeline
Elena Velez is an American fashion designer and heterodox creative from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, based in New York City.
Her work is known for its non traditional synthesis of metalsmith and high fashion.
Described by Vogue as "explosive and aggressive", Velez's work has been inspired by the historic craftsmanship and manufacturing legacy of the American Rust Belt and is the product of collaboration with local metalsmith artisans to revisit the regional craft.
Central themes in her work include deconstruction, unconventional & complicated femininity, and alternative construction methods, which include "salvaged" and "site-specific materiality".
Velez coins her visual identity as "aggressively delicate".
Velez is on The Dazed 100 List, the winner of the 2022 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund, the 2022 CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year, is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and is a semi finalist for the 2024 LVMH Prize.
Velez is often associated with the "Dimes Square" reactionary aesthetic movement.
Of Puerto Rican heritage but raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Velez claims in recent interviews that the "industrial" nature of her "nontraditional upbringing" as the only child to a single mother who is a ship's captain on the Great Lakes influenced her current artistic identity, which she says draws heavily on "the relationship between femininity and force".
With a beginning interest in design from early childhood, the first documentation of her developments appear in local TV news as a teenager in 2010.
Velez studied at Parsons Paris from 2013 to 2015 and graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2018 with a BFA in fashion design and minor in creative entrepreneurship.
Velez was first named by I-D Magazine in 2018 as "one of five under the radar designers to discover at New York Fashion Week" after first gaining viral success on VFILES Runway.
In 2019 Velez's work was exhibited as a Teen Vogue 2019 Generation Next designer curated by Editor in Chief of Vogue Anna Wintour and she was referred to by the Editor in Chief of The Cut, Lindsey Peoples, as “a designer representing the future of fashion”.
Her work has received coverage in Business of Fashion, Women's Wear Daily, WGSN, Numero Berlin, and other publications.
In February, 2021, Elena Velez Industries Inc. was founded with investment support from venture capital firms Gener8tor, and CSA Partners.
The company was subsequently profiled in Forbes for its work with Midwestern makers and mission to "democratize resources and recognition" for artists outside of traditional creative capitals.
In 2022, Velez won American Emerging Designer of the Year at the CFDA Fashion Awards.
In March 2023, she was inducted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Velez attended the 2023 Met Gala as a guest of Balenciaga.
For the occasion, she created a crackle medium screenprint ink-gown for the artist Sasha Gordon as a nod to Gordon's painting career.
Velez is an outspoken advocate for transparency around the struggles of being a young designer, detailing in a profile for the New York Times her difficulties around growing a brand without private wealth.
Additionally in 2020 she received a Graduate Diploma in fashion design from Central Saint Martins in London.
Her BFA thesis collection was shown at VFILES Season 10 Runway, and London Fashion Week, as a guest of the Swedish Fashion Council.
