Summer Bellessa
Born: Unknown
At four years old, Summer Bellessa started her modeling career and by 17 had the opportunity to travel the world, working in fashion capitals that include: Paris, Hamburg, New York, Miami, London, and Tokyo. Summer had the pleasure of working with many brands, including Clairol, Sears, Target, Shiseido, Secret, Glamour, AT&T, and Vidal Sassoon. Those experiences as a model opened her eyes to the world outside her hometown of Chicago Heights, IL. Her metamorphosis from model into entrepreneur began as she effortlessly brought creative and talented people together to create Eliza magazine, a fashion/lifestyle publication found in Barnes & Nobles across the country. Today, Summer creates content on many levels: as an art director for brands and magazines, as well as a producer and as an actress. You can watch her in found footage thriller, Amber Alert, opening case 25 on Deal or No Deal, or on her YouTube channel The Girls With Glasses. Her crowning creation has been her family. With husband, Kerry Bellessa, they raise their three loving and rambunctious kids, Rockwell, Phoenix, and Nova. Summer has a brilliant ability to bring motherhood and stylish living under one roof. In her clever heartwarming post found on Babble.com, she allowed her 4 year old Rockwell dress her for a whole week. "Toddler Stylist" went viral, leading her to be featured on The Today Show, The View, BuzzFeed and even landed her a Tedx talk.
