About Elfida Artinoff
Founder and creative director of Elfida’s Atelier Couture (and Gotham Couture, NYC), Elfida was honored as Luxury Fashion Designer at the Fashion Star Awards in Monte-Carlo, and named Laureate in the same category — recognition of her artistic vision, fine craftsmanship, and timeless couture celebrated by Monaco Fashion Days.
Inspired by her father, a connoisseur of antiquities and jewelry, and her atelier-trained mother of Lebanese and New York heritage, Elfida, a graduate of NYU and NYIT, fuses old-world elegance with modern fantasy: “Everything I create carries a part of them. This award is as much theirs as it is mine.”
