Gail Elliott (born 1966) is an English fashion designer and former model.[1]
Early life[edit]
Elliot was born in Balham, London, in 1966.[2] She is of mixed Anglo-Indian, Scottish and other European ancestry.[2][3]
Career[edit]
Modeling[edit]
Elliot began to model when she was 17 years old, at the suggestion of her ballet teacher.[2] She moved to Tokyo, Japan, where she worked as a model for two years, after which she moved to New York City.[2][4] Over the years, Elliott modeled for some of the world's major fashion brands such as Versace, Valentino, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Karl Lagerfeld, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Tom Ford, and Donna Karan.[2][4] Elliot worked with photographers such as Steven Meisel and Mario Testino.[2] Her modeling career spanned a period of 24 years.[4]
Little Joe Woman[edit]
Elliot ventured into fashion design, starting a clothing label with her husband Joe Coffey in 2002, which was named Little Joe Woman.[2][5][6] The label was started in New York and was subsequently based out of Sydney, Australia.[2][7][8] The company's headquarters was later transferred to Bali, Indonesia.[7] Elliot's husband is the brand's CEO while Elliot is its creative director.[4] The brand, which has been described as "a rock-chic, luxe-resort fashion line",[7] originally offered slip dresses and camisoles.[2][4]
Personal life[edit]
During her first trip to Australia, Elliott was introduced to her now-husband Coffey by INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence, who at the time was the boyfriend of her model friend Helena Christensen.[1][2][9] Elliott and Coffey were married in 1997.[10] Her wedding gown was designed by Azzedine Alaïa, while Christensen, Cindy Crawford, and Yasmin Le Bon were some of her bridesmaids.[10]
