CARLY ELLIS

British designer Carly Ellis graduated from the prestigious University of Westminster in 2010 to embark on an unstoppable journey of success.
Her graduate collection, entitled “BOOM!” received wide spread critical acclaim and featured in many publications such as Vogue Online, Vogue Italia, Super Super Magazine and The Mail on Sunday, to name but a few. Carly’s signature hooded leotard was shot by photographer Rankin, and featured as the promotional imagery for Graduate Fashion Week 2010.

This success awarded Carly with a highly sought after place on the Parson’s Masters course in New York. Not only did she manage to secure a place on the course, Diane Von Furstenberg sponsored her tuition.

Upon moving to America, Carly has dressed and styled singer Rye Rye for her nationwide tour, her album artwork and music video “Party in the U.S.A”.

During her MFA studies, Carly still had her finger on the pulse of the fashion industry, working on commissioned pieces for UpStyler Magazine, SuperSuper Magazine and Candy Boutique in Tokyo.

Upon graduation from Parsons, Carly’s newest collection, “That Moment Before it All Makes Sense” was previewed as part of the MFA Fashion Design and Society exhibition.
The presentation generated much media anticipation for the upcoming New York Fashion week runway show, and Carly’s work was featured in legendary publications such as The New York Times and Style.com.

Carly’s triumphs so far can be attributed to her positive and humorous approach to fashion design, which resonates in mind blowing digital prints manifested in luxurious street wear styles.

The future is bright for Carly Ellis, as Hilary Alexander of the Telegraph agrees,

"Carly Ellis, of Westminster University, hit a niche with her collection of 'evening-inspired sportswear', all of which actually glows under UV light."
