About ÈLU by Èlon

A Vision Rooted in Emotion

ÈLU by Èlon is a Kansas City–based luxury fashion house founded by designer Elon Kebede.
Meaning chosen, ÈLU represents artistry with purpose — where emotion becomes couture.
Each creation tells a story of strength and softness, merging modern craftsmanship with timeless design.
Rooted in feeling and refined by intention, ÈLU redefines contemporary luxury through silhouettes that evoke intimacy, power, and grace.
Every collection is more than fashion — it’s a translation of emotion, a reflection of identity, and a celebration of the woman who chooses to be seen.
