Episode 1: Hats Off to Fashion with guests Ellie Ayati-Jian and Denise Costello
The Diva Life Show, with guest Ellie Ayati-Jian
Today on The Diva Life Show we welcome hat designer, Ellie Ayati-Jian and holistic healer, Denise Costello.
The work of Ellie Ayati-Jian, first gained widespread attention when she took the fashion world by storm in a surprising victory at the New York Belmont Stakes Fashion Contest. A relatively unknown milliner at the time, Ellie's designs captivated the judges at the Belmont Stakes, a horse racing event that’s internationally famous for showcasing the most innovative designs in millinery. The thrill of this victory further spurred Ellie’s interest in millinery, and set the benchmark for her future designs, although her journey actually began many years earlier. Today Ellie designs hats and beautiful head-pieces for men and women who want to take their style to the next level and for top-notch fashionable events.
Denise Costello is a cannabis nurse, holistic healer and the creator of "The Elevated Way," a lifestyle medicine method aimed at changing the narrative of how we live resulting in a rejuvenated you that looks great and feels healthy, happy and sexy at any age.

How Ellie went from a career in architecture to becoming an award-winning millinery.
