Hi, I’m Ella Gillard, founder of Ella Gillustrations. Ella Gillustrations is a sustainable fashion and prints brand, based in Leeds, UK.
I’ve always loved both illustrating and fashion design, so merging the 2 together with my interest in traditional witchcraft to create Ella Gillustrations seemed like the right way to go.
The surreal characters I create take inspiration from creatures that are commonly associated with witches and the symbolism behind them.
All in all, bright colours, contrasting prints and fabrics, a sustainable mindset and a witchy character here and there would sum up this funky slow fashion brand.
I began the brand in November 2022 and have since been building the brand and trading at various events. Check out the 'events' page to see where I'll be next!
I’m also a recent Fashion Design graduate, my final collection ‘Secrets of Witches’ has been published in The Times, The Yorkshire Post, Hunter, Aether and Fesch Magazine. The collection was inspired by the traditional witches and feminists and how the 2 could be interlinked.
If you have any questions or would like to know more please feel free to get in touch.
