Discover what the E.L.V. DENIM family is wearing in The #ELVFAMILY '23 Edit

nabhaan, mawaan and shahnaz

"I have known Nabhaan for 2 years from the time I styled him for the cover of RUSSH in 2021.  We have stayed friends ever since, and I feel his genuine support with everything I do.  I know we share the same family values, and it has been a pleasure to spend time with his family with this project. 

" The following must be acknowledged: 1) Shahnaz always brings the boys food (wherever they are, and I have to say makes the most delicious fruit salad, 2) Mawaan has the most genius show Juice on BBC 3 3) Nabhaan has given me two crocodile plants in succession, please note that the second one is doing very well!" - Anna

brett and scott

"Meeting Scott & Brett; the first thing I was struck by is how kind and thoughtful they are, and how much they do for others.  They have been incredibly supportive of what I have been doing, and I am encouraged by their dedication to creating a better ‘fashion world’. By educating us with their knowledge, they can be your trusted guides as they help us navigate the sustainable landscape.  Not only are they passionate about their beliefs, but they inspire others to also be the change. They will always be the ‘smarties’ in my eyes." - Anna

krishna and nam

"I met Krishna at The Ned when I was invited to give a talk to their members.  She came into the studio and has been one of the family ever since.  She literally radiates positive energy for the brands she feels passionately, and I am proud that E.L.V. DENIM is one of her favourites.  I love that she matches my vision to where I see the brand growing.  Krishna and Nam have the most beautiful sister relationship and I am delighted she is too one of the family." - Anna

emma beckett pr

"I have known Emma Beckett for 20 years.  She embodies refinement and elegance, and she has created a team of incredible women who share these qualities.  Working with a friend has its risks, but Emma is my biggest supporter, she believes E.L.V. DENIM is the change and that the rest of the industry must follow." - Anna

vikram and bhavini

" Every young fashion brand needs a Vikram! I was introduced to Vikram through the BFC at the beginning of the E.L.V. DENIM journey as an adviser/sounding board for all things financial.  Analysing spreadsheets might not be the sexiest thing in fashion, but they are a necessity to form the foundations for a successful business. Vikram is really proud of all the brands he works for, and likewise is his wife Bhavini, who is a total creative energy in her own right.  I am honoured to have their support." - Anna

kiori studio

"I first met Maisie, quite by chance at Kidmania, one of Hackney’s best soft play centres which is owned by her mother.  We got chatting and she told me she was studio manager at a small atelier.  One of those serendipity moments, I immediately arranged to come in and meet Marita and from the first instant I knew that this would be the perfect place for us to produce our jeans.  Two years later and I can’t imagine not working with them." - Anna

annelise, marley and frankie

"I first met Annelise 17 years ago on a shoot when we were both pregnant.  She moved to NY not long after and we sadly lost touch, but then I received a random message 3 years ago saying, “I have your jeans, I love them, and I just bloody realised E.L.V. DENIM is you”.  Since that day we are close friends, confidants and collaborators.  I couldn’t have asked anyone else to photograph the #ELVFAMILY series that means so much to me." - Anna

the e.l.v. denim team

"The best part of growing the business, is working with all the people who are part of it.  I truly believe in serendipity, and each member of the team has come to me quite organically in completely different ways.  I am exceptionally honoured to work with this team every day.  All our skills complement each other, bound by the desire to do better in our industry, to be the root of the change." - Anna
