Elza Khalife is a Lebanese designer based in New York City. Her work is defined by garment construction and in-house developed textiles drawing from personal memories to combine structured and fluid forms with experimental, high-end finishes. Working across corsetry, draping, and surface design, she creates and hand-makes each piece in her studio.
