I’m originally from Atkinson, IL which boasts 900 people and not a single stoplight; allowing me to cruise right out of town almost 10 years ago to pursue a career (a life rather) in fashion and design.

For the past four years, I’ve been in a long distance relationship… with the fashion beacon that is New York City. As much as I tried to dig up my midwestern roots and replant them in Manhattan, I’ve sown them, unexpectedly for those in the fashion industry, downtown Chicago.

Although I constantly miss NYC’s unmatched energy that feels intense enough to bottle up and bring home, I’ve asolutely thrived in the independence and endless opportunities Chicago has offered which enabled me to launch my brand— a significant chapter within my story.

Storytelling. It’s the narrative behind ‘famous in a small town’ that binds the Kamber Elyse brand together and my favorite part is having the outlet to share it. So, welcome to Kamber Elyse— inspired by my eclectic upbringing lassoed with the chapters I continue to write. A tell-all, show-off brand.
