Journal | From Cows to Pidgeons

Hi, Everybody! Lisa and Katie here. We're starting this blog today to share with all our family, friends, and fans our journey with this big dream we have. Katie's been working on Elegantees for about a year and Lisa officially jumped on board a month ago. Katie's an oldie in NYC (since 2005) and Lisa is fresh off the block, or shall we say, off the farm!

We are both from Iowa, and as much as we love the country life, we're really city girls! And we're so passionate about fashion design. In fact, both of us have wanted to pursue it since we were 12 (that was 1998 for Katie, and 2003 for Lisa). Hehe, showing our age ;-)

One thing we do not miss is all the cows we smelled in Iowa. We've upgraded to pidgin poop. (Lisa says she's running from the pidgins because they're everywhere and doesn't want them to drop a surprise on her elegantee!)

But the neatest thing about our desire to be in this industry is we believe we can make a difference in designing clothing that is modest, and show how to dress it fashionably and elegantly. We also are determined to stop sex trafficking since we hate it very much.

Since we are in the amazing New York City we will be taking photos and sharing them and our stories of our exciting lives here. We hope you enjoy and follow us.

Until our next post, enjoy these photos from our latest photo shoot.

Lisa is brunette, and Katie is the blonde one.

Much love from NYC,

Katie + Lisa
