With her luxury womenswear line Elle B. Zhou and the groundbreaking new collection revealed in an international virtual presentation on May 22nd, we would love to arrange an interview with you and Muslim fashion designer Elle B. Mambetov to share how she is launching her fashion empire comprised of modest and trendy must-haves in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Previously featured in Vogue, ELLE, and Harper’s Bazaar, Elle is poised to change the perception of modest fashion into something truly unique and sophisticated with the launch and virtual presentation of her luxury womenswear brand, Elle B. Zhou.
“This collection is my brain, heart and soul stretching to collide two worlds of fashionable existence. Representative of my own journey into dressing modestly; each cropped top, short sleeved shirt, and pair of trousers have been re-positioned to fit within this new world as I seek to redefine modest fashion.” (- Elle B. Mambetov).
A London Fashion Week designer at the age of 26, Elle’s makes her U.S. fashion debut this week. She was recently released from a UK prison after serving two years before the U.S. government intervened to free her. In her upcoming PBS television documentary, Elle will chronicle her jaw-dropping comeback story of how a successful Muslim African American woman can possibly go from the catwalk to the confines of a prison, and what she did when she discover she was a victim of fraud at the hands of her own friend. Elle’s story depicts true details of scandal, police corruption, perjury, racism, prison life, US Government agency aid for Americans on foreign soil, and sexual misconduct by a prison staff member; to name a few.
With social distancing measures in place, this virtual fashion presentation (complete with digitally constructed models) will replace her planned runway show and benefits Vogue’s A Common Thread and Doctors Without Borders to raise funds for those who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Elle is also launching her own store at Southern California’s quintessential fashion destination, the iconic Beverly Center (Opening Summer 2020).
