about elav

ELAV was dreamt up in 2020, launched in 2023, by designer Vanessa Esmail in her Manhattan apartment. What started out as an attempt to sew her own pieces, became a fashion line born out of her love of neutrals and an effortlessly chic aesthetic. Vanessa’s ideal wardrobe is something practical and classic, but not boring - quality pieces meant to live in a curated closet for years to come. ELAV is made in NYC.
