Young designers lead the way

Stube, an Indonesian-born designer who grew up in Pigtown, came to the atelier to re-shore her line of modern vintage-look gowns from Indonesia to Baltimore. She started the brand Elsa Fitzgerald in Bali, where she lived for three years to be close to factories. But she returned to Baltimore to be closer to her family. She worked at Fashions Unlimited to learn the ropes in a factory and now works in her own studio.
