My name is Christine Rose Elle. I love clothes! I am a wardrobe stylist and designer. I have loved clothes and costumes ever since I saw those red shoes on Dorothy, and was old enough to say "Barbie is beautiful"!

I started designing clothes for all my dolls, and eventually shredded all my mother's sheets and curtains to make teenage fashions for myself. The desire to make beautiful clothes from real fabric instead of curtains, brought me to Fashion design school. I worked in the fashion industry for many years for Betsey Johnson, and have had several lines of my own clothing designs.

My styling career began with dressing mannequins and windows for Nordstrom. Now I style wardrobes for commercials, film and print.

Realizing my dreams to travel and learn another language, I recently lived in Italy to study costuming and art. While in Italy I went to many flea markets and visited many costume houses. This really fueled all my daydreams about beautiful costumes and clothes!

I love how the old and new mix together. I like to wear my vintage dresses "just because". And I love dressing other people in clothing that transforms them, and ultimately helps them realize the beauty of themselves!

I fuse my love for fashion and costumes in all my designs, artwork, jewelry design, and altered journals.

I hope you like all the pretty things I have selected...just for you!

xoxo

Christine
