Elfida Artinoff, founder and creative director of Elfida’s Atelier Couture, has been nominated for the prestigious Fashion Star Awards by Monaco Fashion Days in the Luxury Fashion Designer category — recognizing her artistic vision, exceptional craftsmanship, and dedication to timeless, globally inspired couture.

Heritage & Influences

This milestone is not only professional but deeply personal. From childhood, Elfida’s creativity was shaped by two key influences: her father, a connoisseur of antiquities and fine jewelry, and her mother, an atelier-trained designer with roots in both Lebanon and New York. A graduate of New York University and NYIT, Elfida blends old-world elegance with contemporary glamour in every collection.

“Everything I create carries a part of them. This nomination is as much theirs as it is mine.”

A Modern Muse

Early on, Elfida drew inspiration from the timeless poise of Princess Charlotte Casiraghi. “There was a photo of Charlotte that completely captivated me — it inspired my first headpiece,” she recalls. “Presenting in Monaco feels like a full-circle moment.”

Press & Runway

Elfida’s Atelier Couture has been featured in leading fashion magazines including Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Marie Claire, and Madame Figaro.

The SS25 collection debuted on September 29, 2024 during Paris Fashion Week, in collaboration with @parisfashionair and @astonmartin, showcased at the historic Maison de l’Amérique Latine.
