Elza Khalife is a Lebanese designer based in New York City. Her main inspiration draws from nostalgia, surrealism, and the beauty found in contradiction. She often explores the tensions between structure and softness, chaos and order, past and future. Working with both delicate and structured materials, her designs combine fine textiles and experimental finishes. Embellishments, fabric manipulation, and hand-worked details are used to create pieces that feel personal and unexpected.
