When Emna Hussein learned about the Elegoo With Her program on social media, she was ecstatic. The Tunisia-born, Egypt-based fashion designer has years of experience working on marketing and communications teams for fashion powerhouses like Chanel and Mugler as well as for a Tunisian radio station and an international English learning language academy.

We’re excited to introduce three talented creators from the ELEGOO WITH HER program: Ekaterina Davydenko, EMNA HUSSEIN, and Kinnera Putti, each presenting a striking, culture-inspired piece.From a heartfelt tribute to 20th-century Russian design (the lamp), to the rich symbolism and language of Tunisian heritage (the dress), to the swirling elegance of traditional Indian lehengas — these works reimagine tradition using modern tools.

Among them were two standout designers: Emna Hussein, from Tunisia and Italy, and Neyla Coronel Vega, from Colombia. Each approached the program with a different goal. Hussein sought to reinterpret heritage through couture, while Coronel Vega used design to explore self-acceptance and body confidence. Their projects couldn’t have been more different: one became a futuristic fashion capsule inspired by Tunisian tradition, the other a 3D printed bra designed to fit body and soul.
