"Fashion to me is a freedom of expression. You find your personal style that will describe who you want be and how you want to be looked at by other people."

Elin's collection: Nature vs. Industrial: My two inspirations, coral reefs and industrial buildings, seem to belong to separate worlds to many people. But, how can that be when within 50 years 70% of the world's coral reefs will have disappeared due to humans. My collection shows that the human world and nature have to work as a team and stay beautiful together to be able to survive.

I worked with light silks in bright colors: greens, blues, and orange mixed with dark, stiff leather and organza. This collection is meant to be practical so that you can wear the dress at the cocktail party and the day after change the look of it and wear it to brunch.

What about Fusion are you most excited about? I'm exited about the freedom I have to create whatever I want, that no one tells me what I have to do and can't do. I'm also very excited about having the opportunity to show my designs to so many people.
