Born
in Terni (Umbria), Italy, Elisabetta Rogiani graduated
from the prestigious KOEFIA Academy (International Academy
of High Fashion and Costume Design) in Roma. She came
to Los Angeles in 1981 seeking to enrich her career experiences
and acquire greater exposure in the entertainment industry.

special designs and developed the "look" for

her upscale designer line, "Elisabetta Rogiani"
in 1990 and opened her fashion boutique in 1995. She was
designing and creating dresses for celebrities like Lisa
Hartman-Black, Pamela Anderson, and Paula Abdul, when
they asked her to make the perfect pant and top for exercising
and working out. Focusing on a simple and feminine style,
Elisabetta created a fashionable and sexy activewear for
the stars. It wasn't long before the fashion fitness press
and fitness stars started calling.
