Growing up in a family of fashion artists, Elsa Valencia was destined to make her mark in the industry. Her mother, a skilled seamstress, and father, a talented tailor and metal designer, instilled in her a passion for creativity and craftsmanship. From a young age, Elsa honed her skills in sewing, jewelry-making, and fashion design, creating her own clothes by the time she was 14. Although Elsa pursued higher education in other fields, earning both a Bachelor's and Master's degree, her true calling remained in fashion. Born and raised in East Los Angeles, surrounded by like-minded individuals with artistic interests, Elsa's drive and passion for creation only intensified.
