Striking colors,music and pop art give her clothing and accessories the life and personality that set her apart from the rest.

Elia’s Deleon’s story of a Mexican born designer who lived a double life as a waitress and furiously obsessive creative is a perfect example of American Individualism. To be American is to be self reliant and influenced by the backgrounds and decisions of generations of past multi-ethnic cultures who all believed in the idea of this country’s grand experiment of political and creative freedom. For that reason, Elia embraces her stance that her products are and will always be American-made.
