Creator of latex and lace designs.

A graduate of De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) won a recent competition with a series of latex and lace designs. The competition was sponsored by ASOS, and the Contour Fashion graduate, Elissa Grainger was chosen out of a competition featuring over 600 brands.

Her brand called Elissa Poppy has garnered tons of followers on Instagram, and there’s a bright future ahead for the budding star. The judges from the ASOS Fashion Discover competition included representatives from the British Fashion Council, i-D and Graduate Fashion week.

One stand out piece includes a bright red lace corset, complete with latex ribbing and lace up ribbon detailing. Other key pieces include a black lace lingerie set, including delicate latex bows and an attachable lace mask. For a retro feel, Elissa created a polka dot latex look which featured subtle hints of lace on the bodice and briefs, along with black latex trim.

The 22-year-old designer said, “My inspiration for the brand comes from many different places, including the artwork of Roy Lichtenstein which is really brought out in different products that I have.” In addition to her cash prize, she also will receive mentoring from each of the judges, and her designs will be featured in ASOS 2017 Spring/Summer collection.

She will also receive a grant to assist with cost of living and a shared office space in The Innovation Centre. In the future, Elissa has said that she would love to style stars like Rihanna and Beyonce. Based on these gorgeous latex and lace designs, we’re bound to see more from Elissa Grainger soon.
