ELIZA MAGAZINE MOVES TO TOWN!
ELIZA Magazine’s Founder/Editor-in-Chief, Summer Bellessa, recently moved to the Valley from Los Angeles. I had the great opportunity to meet her at Scottsdale Fashion Week and to find out more about ELIZA and her move…
ELIZA is a fashion magazine focusing on the sexy, classy and covered-up modern woman that describes itself by saying, “We continue to pick up the scent of fashion and modesty and deliver it to your door season to season.” The publication and its focus on modesty has been mentioned in Newsweek, The Huffington Post, Good Morning America and more about its role in the “modest movement.”
Why did you decide to relocate here to the Valley? Mostly for personal reasons.
Are you planning to incorporate the local industry in ELIZA? Yes, we are open to shooting on location here and featuring as much talent as we can.
When did you start the magazine? ELIZA has been in print for almost 3 years.
Is it available in town yet? The easiest way to get the magazine is to subscribe at www.elizamagazine.com.
You are the Founder, but did you start the magazine with investors or another media group behind you? No, just me and a group of talented freelancers. Awesome!
Who is your favorite couture designer? Jason Wu and Milly. Who is your favorite everyday designer? H&M, cheap and chic.
Who is your dream interviewee? Cate Blanchett. She is one of my role models.
What do you predict for the fashion future of Phoenix? With smaller markets it’s easy to predict – look at what LA is doing, which looks to New York for inspiration. Trickle down fashionomics.
Any suggestions to local fashionistas? The most fashionable people beat to their own drum. Don’t be a follower; be inventive. Instead of checking out the mall, check thrift stores or learn to sew.

I WANT WANG AND WANG WANTS YOU!
I would die for this! In fact, I might just apply to see what response I get. But if you would die for this and could move immediately to New York, apply too! So that the rest of us here could envy you!

AH-MAZING!
I absolutely love this dress by Christian Cota, worn here by Carrie Underwood. It’s from his Spring 2010 collection. Cota is probably my favorite relatively new designer out of New York. I’ve seen his name on some amazing celebrity ensembles recently. See more from the collection and shop online at www.christiancota.com.
