With an affinity for using the hides of animals to create rockstar outfits worthy of Slash (indeed, she has designed for several famous rockers, including the likes of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame) in black and bone, for her spring 2010 collection, Elise Overland expanded her color pallete to include rosy pinks, khaki nudes, and a punch of racy red.
The sophisticated and sexy animal-wear was rife with details that gave the garments an surprise element of sex-appeal with backless funnel-necked dresses and leather cut-outs.
