Elana Carello [1984, Apparel Design]
I like to create whimsical, artistic knitwear that makes people smile. I design every aspect of the garment. Designing sweaters is the closest an apparel designer comes to fine art; I don’t just paint on the canvas, I create the canvas. I sketch the sweater, choose yarn and colors and decide how to knit the fabric. I create a life-size layout and decide on type and size of the yarn.Every part of the knitting process is done under my instruction and supervision in the USA. I design and create every aspect of the collection.
