occupation: stylist and muse
I live day-by-day. Lea T
Jeffrey Williams, who interviewed Lea in Milan, said that he wanted every piece in her wardrobe, and I can see why. The consummate Vivienne Westwood pirate boot in multiple color combinations (and best in the flat-heeled men’s version), the Givenchy black leather drop-crotch pants (that look like a pencil skirt but are so much better), and the oversized, slouchy bags are all “quest enders,” in my opinion. Originally from Brazil, she is an earthy beauty and adds an indigenous touch to her high fashion taste with her layered suede top from a Paris flea market mixed with slim capris from Ann Demeulemeester. Leo is so polished, but in the most “undone” way – very few people can make a Commes des Garcons pink skirt with stuffed hands at the hip look as effortless as a jean. She has been a best friend and muse to Riccardo Tisci, designer of Givenchy, but Lea is not a slave to fashion and could leave the house in her white boxers and tank top and still make jaws drop.
