THE DESIGNER ELA ACOSTA
A designer since 2006 and born a Venezuelan, Ela
found her first inspiration in polyurethan, a material
coming from the very same oil extracted of the
Venezuelan soil. Ela is always looking for innovation,
strongly believes in knowledge, talent, technology and
everything allowing the world to reach a real
development. For her, it is necessary to transcend
from the current Age of Petroleum and fossil energies
to a new Age of Light, where economic growth is not
only green, but also more human, as it is supported
by new humanistic theories like philantrocapitalism
and social entrepeneurship. Ela is sure that this new
way to understand development, involves the return
to hand-made clothes and the respect for each
worker as a craftsmen; she strongly opposes the
model of the great centers of manufacture around
the world, where humans are nothing more than a
tool for mass production.
Ela’s background includes: Art Studies in Pinacoteca di Brera and Fashion Design in
Marangoni Institute, both at Milan; Digital Illustration in Centro Art, Caracas; Research on VFX
and 3D, using Mudbox and ZBrush; she also holds a Bachelor Degree on Liberal Arts from
Universidad Metropolitana, giving her a profound understanding of the realities and
problems of today’s globalized world.
After brief but enriching internship experiences with the Venezuelan designer Angel
Sanchez at New York, and with the Dutch conceptual designer Iris Van Herpen at
Amsterdam, Ela is ready to pour into ELA ACOSTA all her energy, talent, knowledge and
feelings.
DESIGNVALUESBased on innovation, talent, knowledge and
technology, the brand designs to create
consciousness about the need of humanity to
transcend towards the Era of Light, representing it
with prêt-a-porter and conceptual clothes capable
of answering the needs of contemporary
individuals.
“Economics can be defined as the study of
scarcity, whereas art and product design, sublime
us to the values of collaboration and abundance.
Competition and efficiency in our mindset are not
the priority anymore”.

ELA ACOSTA’S INNOVATIVE LINES
SPORTIVDestined to entrepreneurs and decision makers, this line of tailored pieces
comes from a reminiscence of the era of light, excellent for elegant yet
active lifestyle. ELA ACOSTA designs its own and exclusive colorful fabrics,
which are later exquisitely merged with mesh linings, allowing the creation
of light weight pieces with both comfort and movement. Besides, these
pieces also favor body shape with its ergonomic design.
This hybrid concept of active wear and tailored structures, comes from
mixing contemporary light fabrics with the knowledge and techniques of
Italian Sartorias. ELA ACOSTA takes this important legacy and adapts it for
today’s society, where bolder dressing codes are now accepted to define
the way we socialize and interact in our business relationships.
CONCEPTUAL POLYURETHANE WEAR
This line is extremely limited, and each piece is designed and developed for
research and performances, by request only. This line of conceptual wear is
inspired by ancient techniques, which ELA ACOSTA mixes with architectural
fabrics to create shape-shifting silhouettes and powerful structural strands
of polyurethane. They build up as fractals to create dresses, capes, shoes
and a wide range of pieces, thanks to the use of software used normally for
architectural design, like Rhino, 3d max, maya, and zbrush.
This brand finds is main target on entertainment industry and scientific
research, where both art and product design merge; this combination
aspires for new discoveries, new findings, and new procedures regarding
innovative material functions. Overall, with the Conceptual Wear line, ELA
ACOSTA seeks for visionary inventions and prototypes of new gears to be
worn by future generations.
The brand investigate solutions and push forward the reach of our product
design, through a constant seek for collaborations and involvement in a
various range of developments, where industrial design, architecture and
technology are mixed for hybrid results.
