Elena Siri~Crochet Fashion Designer

Hello everyone and welcome to my new myspace page!!!! Many of you know me but there are just as many of you who do not. I've missed all of my old friends and look forward to making many new friends. My old page is "out of commission" and is for viewing purposes only!!!NOW,WHO IS ELENA SIRI? Elena Siri is, no doubt, an extremely phenomenal woman!!! Designer, personal wardrobe shopper and stylist, poet, model, mentor, licensed manicurist, composer, song writer and mother of three all melt together to form this multi-talented woman. Elena's interests in fashion and poetry both began when she was just six years of age. It came as no surprise that her six sisters and six brothers would often come to her for fashion advice; seeking something different but trendy to add to their outfits. What will catch you by surprise is that it was at the feet of her father that she learned how to crochet! Despite her obvious knack for coordinating fashions, the demands of early motherhood consumed her time and attention. "There was no time to get all cute and girly with three children, a job, and a home to tend to," she recalls, "it became convenient to throw my hair in a bun, slip on my baggy jeans and Timberlands, and tackle the many tasks of the day." Eventually, her children grew older; becoming more independent and less demanding of her time and attention. This would afford her the opportunity to get back to herself, her hopes, her dreams, and her passions to write and design! As she became more social and outgoing, Elena knew her Timberlands and baggy jeans weren't true representations of her style and charisma. She reflected on what her father taught her and combined it with her passion for fashion, creativity, experimentation, and her desire to be different and produced her very first sweater in 2004! Much to her surprise many people approached her to inquire, not only of the designer but how they could obtain a crochet garment of their very own. Not only had her crochet garments caught the public eye but they were in public demand! Without a pattern or a sketch it is amazing (even to herself) how she produces what she envisions with absolute perfection! Elena Siri specializes in custom made garments for women, men, and children of all shapes and sizes; be it the particularly petite, pleasantly plump, or big and tall. Her styles range from casual to formal, sophisticated or sexy, retro or alluring, conservative or risky! Her designs have been featured in numerous fashion shows including "Baltimores Fashion Week 2008". Articles have appeared in "Name It!", "The Razors Edge", and "The Baltimore Sun Paper", and "The Afro American Newspaper". She has had the incredible opportunity to work alongside fashion guru Travis Winkey and is also the official crochet designer for Mrs. Maryland 2006 and 2007 - Mrs. Adrienne Watson Carver - who wore Elena's designs in the Mrs. Maryland and the Mrs. America Pageant for 2006 and 2007. Elena Siri DARES YOU TO BE DIFFERENT as she guarantees mouths will drop and heads will turn when you venture out in your custom made Elena Siri crochet garment!
