Elly is a costume maker and textile artist based in South London, whose creations are inspired by our interactions with the natural world. 

Elly works with discarded or unwanted textiles and other found objects to tell stories about the relationships we have with our clothes. Her work seeks to highlight the disconnect between clothing as a valuable form of personal expression, and a global fashion system that exploits people and planet. 

The threads running through her work connect costume history, sustainable fashion and a love of London’s wild places.
