ALA’s Previous Featured Designers
VENIA
(Noun) – Elegance of beauty or form, manner, motion, or action.
VENIA is an adventure driven brand bridging the gap between fantasy and reality. Drawing inspiration from the spirit of adventure in a dystopian universe, each collection manifests itself in the form of seasonal stories imprinted with deep reflections of nature, society, and postmodern phenomena.
Unconventional silhouettes and traditional craftsmanship are utilized to convey each season’s narrative. The seamless blend of languid asymmetrical shapes and precision tailoring emphasize a masculine and feminine duality; a common thread present in the brand’s design ethos. Through a unique combination of Fashion, Art, and Multimedia Narrative Storytelling, each collection focuses on sustainable development and progressive design.
VENIA is seen on many artists who share the same story driven vision such as: Lady Gaga, Nine in Nails, Korn, BORIS, Avenged Sevenfold, Tinashe, Gryffin, Seven Lions, and many more.
Experience VENIA in person at our ALA Booth or online at veniacollection.com
Elf Eleven x Marleen Ettema
Elf Eleven is back and teaming up with Marleen Ettema. Your two new favorite irl anime charecters. Their collaborative project named Trashion 4 Fashion tells the magical story of two girls with a passion for trash and fashion who decide to join forces. A match made in trash-heaven (or hell). Step into their Trashion universe: a world of poetic contradictions, bold silhouettes, clashing colors, cult references, everything at once and nothing at all. Trashion is about finding the beauty in trash and turning it into one of one creations with an ethereal edge.
Analeia
Sweet meets hard by balancing pastels, ruffles, and bows with rugged reconstruction and hardware.
Madison Jewelinski
visual storytelling, her work channels the evolution of identity – from chaos to clarity, doubt to power. Her latest collection explores creative
overstimulation: the beauty and exhaustion of feeling everthing all at once, and the art that emerges from it. Each garment merges precision tailoring with expressive hardware and texture, designed for those who see fashion as both armor and release. Jewelinski’s world is bold, raw, and cinematic – where every look feels like a story in motion and every piece carries its own pulse.
Miss Alphabet
college, she discovered an underground LiveJournal community of fellow designers and began selling her wares on eBay. Her original
inspirations were punk and midcentury vintage, then switched to Fairy Kei and 80’s after discovering the Japanese brand Spank! Since then,
she’s appeared in various fashion shows, including the Fall/Winter 2024 show at Tokyo Fashion Week! She also maintains that everyone
deserves to look cute, no matter their shape and size! Miss Alphabet continues to be inspired by the 80’s and experiments with a more maximalist edge in this collection, which she has named “Dream Mall.”
BAA x Serendipity Sky
contemporary fashion, Japanese street fashion, anime, science fiction, world building, and electronic music. BAA, the Shoshone/Paiute name for
water, creates a world blended with many of these concepts put together to create fashion collections that people within these backgrounds and
interests can relate to so they can come together with a shared interest. Serendipity Sky is a clothing and design studio with a focus on gender and size inclusive clothing. Sky is a nonbinary designer and creator who graduated with a BFA in costume design who creates bespoke garments
for clients generally within the cosplay, performance, and Japanese streetwear community.
