Heidi

Home Page, Email us, Ask us a question, Our services

Meet Hiedi Elnora Senior Consultant of the Atlanta and Birmingham Icon [Be One] team contributing a designer’s edge to fashion styling. A graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Heidi began her career designing children’s clothing for Carter’s in Atlanta. While working at Carter’s, Heidi was selected to be a contestant on the 2nd season of Project Runway. As a contestant on Project Runway, Heidi had the unique opportunity to show her style on a national scale. She received national coverage in USA Today, The New York Times, and Earnshaw Magazine, as well as local coverage from The Birmingham News, The Birmingham Weekly, NBC 13, FOX 6, and other related media. After Project Runway and as of August 2006, Heidi decided to move to her hometown and start her own label, Heidi Elnora. Currently Heidi’s work can be seen in The Knot, Alabama Weddings Magazine, as well as I Do for Brides Magazine,

Heidi uses her design background not only to create beautiful garments but also to create a higher awareness of style for the everyday person. Heidi states, “You don’t have to spend a million dollars to look a million dollars. Most people don’t realize that they are only missing a few key items, which are needed to pull off a lot of different looks. I am not one to throw away clothes but more to recycle clothes that I currently have. Trends come and go; so for me as a designer/stylist it’s more about making use of what my client currently has and then just adding a few missing ‘key items’ in order to create a fresh and updated look.” To learn more about Heidi Elnora as well as her designs, please visit her website at www.heidielnora.com.
