Elisse Gonzales comes from a decent background, and is herself quite impressive, with a tall figure and features that possess an Oriental beauty. She is well-known internationally, having ascended step by step to the present major fashion shows, and her reputation is also favorable.

It was exactly these connections with several esteemed designer friends that had them praising Elisse Gonzales, saying that she had an excellent temperament, a strong presence, yet also encapsulated the intellectual mystery characteristic of Eastern females.
When Naomi couldn't help but express her skepticism, she unexpectedly got rebuffed by those friends of hers.
Later, at an International Design Competition more than a year earlier, she and her teacher had participated, and Elisse Gonzales was one of the invited models!
