Paris

With Fabrique since 2026 A Paris-based former Chloé print embroidery designer and Nina Ricci designer, known for elegant womenswear shaped through sculptural draping, structured knits and soft strength.

Inspiration

For Elena, the collection starts with a modern, feminine wardrobe made for real urban life. Casual, clean and precise, it is built around pure silhouettes without unnecessary embellishment. Sharp coats, cotton gabardine trenches and menswear-inspired cold wool suits bring structure, while comfortable volumes and soft fabrics keep the pieces easy to wear. Neutral tones define the mood, with subtle colors and blurred nature prints drawn from landscapes, vintage photographs and sepia effects.

Background

A Paris-based former Chloé print embroidery designer and Nina Ricci designer, known for elegant womenswear shaped through sculptural draping, structured knits and soft strength.

Elena Peters is a Paris-based designer who has worked at Chloé as a print and embroidery designer, and later at Nina Ricci as a designer. Her background sits between surface detail and garment construction, which shapes the way she approaches modern womenswear.

Her work focuses on three-dimensional draping and structured silhouettes. Even in soft, warm knitwear, she brings a clear sense of form, using cut and proportion to create shape rather than relying on decoration alone. The result feels controlled, but not rigid.

A key part of her design language is the idea of soft strength. Draping in her work is not only used to create a gentle effect; it adds tension and movement. Her larger silhouettes carry a quiet presence, with an elegance that recalls the confidence of 1980s film stars.
