About Me
My designs are created for all shapes, sizes, genders and ages.
Welcome in to my world of clothing design! I create my Eco Couture Collection textile wearable artwork from silk and raw fine wool. Although my pieces look like art they are amazingly wearable, warm and delicate.
They are created without any seams, always reversible and unbelievably soft to touch. Created for every season, they are also thin and sometimes translucent... My design creations offer an airy texture and spark a sensitive dialogue of eco-friendly materials, incorporating ancient silk art and nunofeltimg techniques, they always produce an exquisite array of color, texture and emotion.
"It is as if I create an original palette with each new artwork – an item that can be transformed any way one decides to wear it… The colors of the palette come form innovative combinations based on personal preferences.” – says Elina Ten, the designer behind Elina Ten Couture.

Elina's art statement: My Fiber textile artwork from silk and raw fine wool that are wearable, warm and delicate, without any seams, reversible and unbelievably soft. They are also thin and the shear has an airy texture and a sensitive dialogue of eco friendly materials.
My designs start from hand crafted fabric – from custom fibers composition to the hand dyed colors.
I never stop admiring our world in all its endless powerful beauty. And you can see it in my work.
Felting technique opens up a lot of possibilities and works great not only for clothing pieces and accessories, but for wall art as well.
