We're completely obsessed with Esmod University Dubai's class of 2010, Elmira Borubaeva. Specializing in costume design, Elmira based her graduating collection on the movie Van Helsing.
Spending months researching gothic design and architecture, Elmira's collection is a dark, cool and sophisticated. We see costume inspiration for Lady Gaga's next music video in Elmira clothes.
Congratulations on the exquisite collection Elmira, we can't wait to see what you will design next.
To get in touch with Elmira, email her at b.emma13@yahoo.com.
