Fashion Director

Zara Ellis

London / New York

I'm the Fashion Director here, which means I get to do the fun part — pull the clothes, set the direction, and argue for the looks everyone else calls 'too much.' I grew up between London and Kingston and that tension between those two worlds is pretty much the reason I dress the way I do. I have 200k followers on my personal Instagram, which still feels insane to me, and I built most of that audience by refusing to wear anything I didn't genuinely love. Y2K obsession is not a phase. It is a lifestyle. It is who I am.
