From daily after-school trips to Beverly Hills as a middle schooler to Parisian flea market excursions as a teen, Pamella Protzel has always been inspired by art, fashion, people and traveling.

During college, Protzel’s stylist friends raided her closet for her handmade T-shirts and prized vintage pieces to take on photo shoots.

Transferring from Pasadena’s Art Center as a graphic design student, Protzel arrived at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles without knowing how to make a pattern.

As a gifted artist, she started drawing the silhouettes and loved learning how to make her designs come to fruition. Rather than use a scientific approach to fashion design, Protzel relies on her discerning eye and intuition, working on her hands, cutting up T-shirts and experimenting with different dyes and fabrications for each piece.

Casual, comfortable and fashionable, Ella Moss attracts celebrity fans like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst and Liv Tyler.

The brand retails at exclusive department stores and boutiques such as Barney’s, Fred Segal, Henri Bendel, Intermix and Ron Herman LA.
