There are some families where creativity runs through the genes. For the Elgorts, this inheritance is something they practise and finesse with commitment, forever sharpening their skills. Image making, movement and performance might sound like separate disciplines, but for Sophie, her father Arthur and mother Grethe, they are overlapping ways of engaging with the world. In this conversation, they wear Marfa Stance as part of that shared creative language.
“Family that works together, stays together.”
ARTHUR ELGORT
Arthur Elgort is Sophie’s father and one of fashion photography’s most influential figures, known for bringing movement, spontaneity and natural light to the pages of Vogue and beyond. The Marfa Stance pieces he wears reflect that instinctive approach, relaxed, practical and ready to move.
Sophie Elgort is the daughter of Arthur Elgort and Grethe Holby, and a New York based photographer working across portraiture and fashion. The Marfa Stance pieces she wears reflect her intuitive and collaborative approach to image making, blending ease with a clear point of view.
Grethe Holby is Sophie’s mother and an acclaimed opera director whose work spans music, theatre and performance. The Marfa Stance pieces she wears echo that same sense of presence and expression, balancing structure with drama.
“Be a photographer, you’ll have more fun and see your kids more.”
