The success of Elissa Coleman's line comes as little surprise when you learn that she was born into a family or retailers and studied textile design. Taking inspiration from her hometown of Perth, Australia, and from her travels, Elissa blends Indonesian craftwork (each garment is handmade and hand-dyed) with modern silhouettes to create her unique collections. ""My clothes are designed to make you feel feminine and sexy, but sophisticated,"" she says.
