Elodie Blanchard Collection

Elodie Blanchard began designing clothes and organizing fashion shows in her teens, before moving to Paris to study sculpture at the École des Beaux-Arts and fashion at the Duperré School of Design and Fashion. In 1999, she won the young designer prize at the International Fashion Arts Festival of Hyeres, which gave her the opportunity to sell her eponymous clothing line at the famed French La Redoute store. After studying at CalArts in Los Angeles, her interests expanded to performance projects, including collaborations with musicians and dancers. Later, Blanchard delved into a variety of endeavors including prototype product development, trend forecasting, special event design and costume and set design.

She has since founded ElasticCo., a studio that specializes in textile design and fabrication - from large-scale custom curtains and site-specific installations to ready-made surfaces, soft furniture and home accessories. She also currently teaches at Parsons, the New School for Design in NY. Blanchard’s work has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Fortune, Metropolitan Home, Interior Design, DWELL, Domino and ELLE Decoration among others.
