Welcome to a new year! My site has been quiet and my workflow has also been quiet but I'm still excited for the future. I started the new year moving to a new place, where I know no one and know nothing. But it's good I'm slowly getting back into my creative flow, designing, spending time alone and time outdoors. I realised life in the city makes you feel like your running out of time but as long as I'm alive I have all the time in the world to achieve the things I want to do.
I decided to look back at some of my top images with Yllin in them.
Here's one of my favourite shoots I did, I had a make-up artist called Yosuke Nakajima who shot with me a few times and also an amazing model Marino and me styling and photographing the collection in this lovely natural light studio back in 2016.
2016 was a crazy year for me and doing collection and shoot was like light at the end of the tunnel.
Also my first every print feature for Elle Croatia. I think I spent £35 to import one of the magazines 😭 but it was worth it.
and we also had a digital feature in British Vogue
Sadly my brand name was spelt wrong so I continue to 😭 this has actually happened in many editorials features where Yllin has been spelt wrong 😭😭😭
Also when I had my collection in a showroom in LA I had so many amazing shots from creatives so lets share some.

Just some of my favourites here that defines Yllin I think.
So let's go 2025 I hope to share so much more with you and my journey as a small sustainable fashion and lifestyle brand from London currently based in Portugal.
Much Love
