Who
Brides Fashion Director, Elle Strauss
Her Style
Feminine and fun with cool edge
What You’ll <3 Her Style
With stints at Lucky, Elle, and UK’s The Face before blending her editorial expertise with her landing at Shopbop and then Brides, the British transplant is a styling master who excels at mixing high and low. Her down-to-earth personality is reflected in her feminine-with-edge style. The Williamsburg resident always looks so put-together and cool that I am always shocked to see that her outfits often consist of mostly affordable finds that could easily be mistaken for designer brands, paired with just one or two designer pieces: an Isabel Marant bandana-print mini skirt with a $60 Urban Outfitters top that could easily be mistaken for an Isabel Marant, and Steve Madden booties that are a dead-ringer for the $600+ Isabel Marant Dickies I (along with everyone else) have been coveting forever; J.Brand skinny jeans with a striped Topshop tee, Zara cardigan, and Coach mini bag; a Balenciaga leather moto jacket with a Topshop lace dress, and quilted Chanel bag; a Tibi midi skirt with a Topshop crop top and an Ann Taylor bag.
