Born in Maputo, Mozambique, and now based in Milan, Erla Gazine is a creative force whose work bridges fashion, art, and social consciousness. As the founder of ERLA, she represents a contemporary vision of multi-ethnic luxury, merging Italian craftsmanship (Made in Italy) with African heritage to create timeless designs that celebrate identity, diversity, and cultural pride.

Internationally recognized for her commitment to cultural inclusion and dialogue, 

Erla has played a key role in uniting communities through influential initiatives such as Africa Day Milano, Afro Festival Italia, and “La Nostra Bandiera, La Nostra Voce.” These platforms have become vibrant spaces for creativity, exchange, and the celebration of Afro-Italian identity, reinforcing her role as a bridge between continents and cultures.

Erla’s work is deeply rooted in sustainability, responsibility, and artistic excellence. Her couture creations are crafted using responsibly sourced and ethically produced materials, reflecting a design philosophy that values longevity, meaning, and respect for both people and the environment. For Erla, fashion is not merely an aesthetic expression, but a powerful medium for connection, awareness, and positive social impact.

“Fashion is a connection between myself, my origins, my desires, and my dreams—objects you wear to rediscover a real connection with the earth,” says Erla Gazine.
