We are proud to announce that Elfida’s Atelier Couture will present new collection in Monaco Fashion Days, that will take place on May 18 during the Cannes Film Festival at the magnificent Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo.
This milestone is not only a professional honor—it’s deeply personal. Elfida’s creativity was shaped from childhood by two extraordinary influences: her father, a connoisseur of antiquities and fine jewelry, and her mother, a talented atelier-trained designer whose heritage bridges Lebanon and New York. Elfida studied Arts and Sciences and graduated from New York University and NYIT. It was through their passion, taste, and skill that Elfida found her path in fashion, fusing old-world elegance with modern fantasy. “Everything I create carries a part of them,” she says. “This nomination is as much theirs as it is mine.”
Elfida’s early inspiration came from none other than Princess Charlotte Casiraghi, whose poise and timeless style sparked a lifelong fascination with aristocratic glamour. “There was a photo of Charlotte that completely captivated me—it was my first vision of what a modern princess could look like. Showing in Monaco feels like a full-circle
