Maaike Elise Stofferis

Maaike Elise Stofferis is a young female creative film director. Her films are based on the movement and beauty of the female form in space. She has a great passion for collaborative international projects in cinematography, art, fashion, and music. She studied theatre and costume design at Central Saint Martins (London) and is the driving force behind her own Haute Couture brand Maison M'Elise. "When I start thinking of new designs for my bridal gowns or evening wear. I always see a film in front of me, I see the female body in movement, and I observe how the light falls and how the woman breaths in her gown, this is my source of inspiration and the start of the creation process for me. The films are always a final synopsis of my work I really believe in the collaborative space where I leave room for the unexpected.
