Founded in 2017 in Fuzhou, China, by Johnny Wu—whose background in humanities informs the label’s philosophical approach to design—Elywood is an avant-garde womenswear brand that merges romanticism with dark, deconstructed aesthetics. The brand’s name, a portmanteau of "elysian" and "wood," evokes a mystical forest, a theme reflected in its ethereal, often monochromatic collections. Elywood is defined by its intricate craftsmanship, utilizing traditional manual weaving techniques, hand-sewn details, and plant-based dyes to create garments that feel both artisanal and otherworldly.
