Early childhood experiences with women that loved cloth, shaped me as i learned to sew miniature outfits for my small fashion dolls and then, when individualizing oneself became important, sewing for myself.
In the theater costume shop I learned patterning and elements of design, as well as, to engineer a piece of clothing to the body. But my fascination became the history embedded in old garments (vintage clothing) I handled while prepping costumes for a performance.
After apparel design and theater costumes made me restless for something different, my millinery evolved.
I remain self taught with a hands on approach; first drawings to paper, to patterns, to layers of fabric, to cut, to piece, to sew; that is handmade.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1433″ img_size=”400×400″ alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1463526923942{padding-right: 7% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1463526912595{padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 7% !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][blockquote text=”I appreciate the slight imperfections found in woven fibers and finish my products with a touch of playfulness because finding one’s style must not became too serious” show_quote_icon=”no” text_color=”#e08026″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Now to be inspired everything in my life is stirred into the big pot and awaken in my vivid dreams that sometimes reveal colorful arrays of people in complete outfits.
My hat making (my millinery) entwines the know nuances of fabrics, the history of accessories and the feel of vintage style.
I appreciate the slight imperfections found in woven fibers and finish my products with a touch of playfulness because finding one’s style must not became too serious; yet,my mission is that each of find our style and not be at the mercy of fashion trends.
Decades have passed and I remain continually curious. I teach to bring my love of fashion design to others. I create beautiful handmade pieces because it is my gift to share with others.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1463526948821{padding-right: 7% !important;padding-left: 7% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][vc_column_text]
ABOUT ELIZABETH ROHLOFF MILLINERY:
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]
In my work, I have always utilized every bit of fabric, even scraps. Since the 1980’s my work has germinated and been 100% locally produced in the green culture of Portland, Oregon. Not only have I predated the sustainable movement but this approach also means my hats and bags display an array of texture, color and sustainable fabrics when possible. My line resonates with contemporary style and a hint of vintage sass. Clothing and accessories are designed with an urban attitude that is street smart and unisex, using natural fibers such as wool, linen, silk, cotton and hemp.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_separator type=”normal” up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_single_image image=”402″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_border” qode_css_animation=”element_from_fade” css=”.vc_custom_1465133982582{margin-right: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]
