La Bella Rosa’s
Continuing my love for all things Italian this week, I visited the beautiful Rosa sisters of Sicilian heritage, Elana & Nadia. Both have crafted a unique niche in Perth’s fashion scene, Elana is the Buyer at Dilettante (the luxury fashion store) and Nadia’s about to launch a candle range. Here a first look at Elana’s incredibly tasteful home that she attributes to none other than her Nonna!
Cluster of candles, perfume, flowers, taxidermy, books & artworks.
Elana Rosa, who has been surrounded and influenced by many talented friends and family including Heath Ledger (her stepbrother), artist Matt Doust & Tane Andrews as well as the designers Nikolina Ergic & Daniel Romanin from One Fell Swoop.
Bone bird, Art Noveau sconces & Mexican Madonna artworks.
My beautiful sister, Nadia Rosa…who is about to launch an incredible candle label, Maison Damore.
