After graduating she worked for a textile agency, designing for Kenzo, Moschino and Donna Karan among others. In 2001 she started her own business and continues to work with fashion textiles and does bespoke projects.

Each card is individually embroidered and handmade by Elena. Her cards are stocked in many beautiful boutiques including The Conran Shop.

Lena Granefelt

One of my ambitions for 2011 is to take more photographs of my treasures, and to get better at taking them. So, today I am sharing with you some of the beautiful photographs from Swedish photographer, Lena Granefelt. I love the soft dreamy look to them and of course the colours!

Lena was born in 1966 in Stockholm. She works as a freelance photographer, focusing on editorials and advertising since 1992. Lena is with the photo agency, John, and is represented by Agent Molly & Co.
