BIO

Hello, I am Elizabeth Arnau.

I have always been a creative soul, with a special sensitivity for everything related to art and aesthetics. From a very early age, I was drawing and designing fashion, developing a strong eye for image in all its dimensions.

In 2005 I channeled this creativity and stepped into the fashion industry as a fashion designer, developing my first womenswear collections, including a small capsule of menswear. I began my career in my hometown, Barcelona, where I received awards and participated in international fashion shows in such as China, New York, and Cannes.

During this period, I also started modeling and organizing fashion shows for other young designers, which allowed me to gain a broader vision of the industry from multiple perspectives.

Despite these achievements, I became aware of the challenges and high level of investment required to launch and sustain a fashion brand at that time. This led me to refocus my path and found a model agency in 2010. A step that felt natural and aligned with the experience I had accumulated.

Since then, I have been managing models internationally, discovering new faces, and developing their careers, as well as producing shoots for editorials and brands, while continuing to create original illustrations, lifestyle and fashion content, and leading strategic communication initiatives.
