Arielle Shalom

Born and raised in New York City, Arielle has developed her style in fashion since an early age, attending fashion high school in Manhattan and working in the industry since age 14. She continued her education by venturing to Paris where she honed her skills in pattern-making, garment construction, and textile manipulation, all while learning French to add to her English and Spanish. Her designs express a deep interest in history, women's autonomy, and romanticism, influenced by her passion for deep archival research in and outside of the fashion industry as well as social issues. The reclamation of women's bodies has become an important factor in her portfolio while utilizing natural materials like leathers, silks, and feathers to integrate couture elements to her bachelor's education.
