Elizabeth Waldmann grew up playing in her mother's sewing room, draping and pinning fabrics. After graduating from London College of Fashion, the Seattle-born designer worked with several womenswear labels and design studios, including Rodnik, in London, and Jasmin Shokrian, in Los Angeles, relocated to Hong Kong and worked at Indian chic label Tabla before opening her own studio here.
the collection features simple, modern silhouettes with a focus on luxury fabrics and draping. Waldmann shows great attention to detail and a deft hand when it comes to combining soft and hard elements.
the Opium bias satin racerback top (left; HK$3,200) in rich bronze would make a great transitional piece. We also love the ingenious pairing of silk and leather in the green one-shouldered gown (far left; price upon request).
