Eleen Halvorsen

Born and raised in Norway, Eleen Halvorsen moved to New York to attend Parsons The New School for Design. She interned for threeASFOUR, Vena Cava, and ERRO. Upon graduating in 2012, Eleen was selected to show at Parsons’ Benefit Gala at the Chelsea Piers. Eleen was also one of the finalists for the annual international Arts of Fashion 2012 Competition, held by The Arts of Fashion Foundation in San Francisco. On her birthday in April 2013, the day of the new moon, she launched her self-titled line, ELEEN HALVORSEN. Her first collection was a conceptual capsule entitled “Dancing Under The Black Moon”. In October 2013, she was part of the curated group show BLEND, hosted by Beautiful Savage Magazine and REVERSE Gallery. 

ELEEN HALVORSEN is a dark, futuristic and minimalistic, yet ethereal line. The inspiration and aesthetic derives from the contrast between the clear winter sky and mysterious nature of Scandinavia, and the grittiness of the streets of New York. Eleen has a conceptual approach to design, and by experimenting with unconventional pattern-making, construction, and materials, she is constantly seeking interesting new juxtapositions and ways to challenge the way garments are perceived and worn.
