Available to hire
Hi, I’m Elodie Thaler, a Franco-Swiss fashion designer and visual creator with a passion for art, drawing, and textile experimentation. I grew up between Switzerland, the United States, and Italy, and I merge technique, textile research, drawing, and contemporary creativity to build expressive fashion and design projects. I studied Fashion Design in Florence and have hands-on experience in design development, production, embroidery, and crafting looks for high-profile contexts.
Currently based in Lugano, I’m eager to contribute to remote projects with a strong identity, bringing my skills in design and tech pack creations in order to help brands grow.
