Elena Gregusova, an international award winning textile artist and fashion designer follows her strong environmental feelings in creation of her designs. The unique “Wear the News™” collection is Elena’s artistic reflection on contemporary world events. Using recycled international newspapers as her medium, Elena creates a wide array of extraordinary wearable sculptures inspired by diverse cultures, personalities and events of the world. In addition to her creations from newspaper, Elena also gives new life and meaning to discarded textiles with incorporating these cast-off pieces into new and wonderful designs and special high fashion collections. For the kids and youth fashion creations Elena invented her own styles and rules where natural look, colors and variability are the basics of her inspiration.
