Pure simplicity!

Feminine and sophisticated design

Ellen Benders dresses are a mixture of the classical Audrey Hepburn dress and her own Sunday dresses from when she was a child. She loves the pure simplicity and has a strong attraction to her childhood. Ellen calls this “My own happy-go-lucky-nature..” When designing she always brings aspects of where she comes from and where she grew up, from a time when the world around her was still soft & lovely, careless. This makes it more personal, for her at least.. She’s always looking at the female body and how to use elements of little girl dresses to create a more feminine and sophistecated design. She likes to make clothes that make a girl feel happy and comfortable and that she would want to wear this dress every day! Fotos: Joost Harmsma
