Founder & Fashion Designer, Stolen
As the founder and creative director of home-grown fashion label Stolen, Elyn knows how to make a woman feel beautiful.
“My pieces juxtapose the curves of a woman’s sensuality with geometric architecture, depicting her strength,” she explains.
Her daring aesthetic, which includes sexy backless dresses, has attracted a steady stream of fans; and what began as a pet project for Elyn 10 years ago has grown beyond the boundaries of Singapore. With stockists in the US, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Kuwait, Stolen also had the distinction of participating in TMRW, a showcase featuring emerging global designers during New York Fashion Week in 2014. “Just getting into this showcase was one of my proudest moments as a designer,” says the former advertising industry veteran. Other accolades include being handpicked as the only local representative for fashion participating in Singapore: InsideOut, an international travelling showcase to Beijing, London and New York.
WORDS TO LIVE BY: “Don’t overthink. When you think too much about how things are going to pan out, that’s when fear sets in.”
