Ella Moss Inez Romper SKU #7579210(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Ella Moss apparel reflects hip, fun, and quirky designer Pamella Protzel, an LA girl at heart. From daily after-school trips to Beverly Hills and Parisian flea markets excursions, Protzel has always been inspired by art, fashion, people, and traveling. A true style prodigy, at 27, Protzel has already established Ella Moss as one of the hottest, fastest-growing collections within the contemporary arena.

During college, Protzel’s stylist friends raided her closet for her handmade T-shirts and prized vintage pieces to take on photo shoots. It was then that she realized fashion was her true calling. Transferring from Pasadena’s Art Center as a graphic design student, Protzel arrived at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles without knowing how to make a pattern. As a gifted artist, she started drawing the silhouettes and loved learning how to make her designs come to fruition. Rather than a scientific approach to fashion design, Protzel relies on her discerning eye and intuition, working with her hands, cutting up T-shirts, and experimenting with different dyes and fabrications for each piece. When designing the green striped cotton dress featured on Sex and The City, Protzel describes the process as more instinctual than calculated. "People ask what my inspiration was for the striped dress group, but I wasn’t actually thinking about specific eras or trends," says Protzel. "I just wanted to create a flowy, feminine dress that had the comfort level of a T-shirt. For me, the design process is more organic."

Although the Ella Moss line has attracted celebrity fans, Protzel doesn’t have plans to create Red Carpet gowns any time soon. Radiating effortless style, Ella Moss clothing is casual, comfortable, and fashionable; each piece can always work back to jeans and flip-flops.

Known for bright color palettes, simple shapes, soft, wearable cottons and tonal stripes, Ella Moss apparel strikes a delicate balance of being edgy and vintage, without being over-the-top trendy. Everyone from young, downtown trendsetters to hip mothers covets the Ella Moss collection.
