i-donline.comi-Profile: Melissa Stasiuk
Armed with tattoos and a longboard, Melissa Stasiuk is the 5’10″ Argentinian making the fashion world flip 180.
You’ll find her in her uniform: skinny jeans, shirt and a leather jacket. Channelling those effortless Patti Smith vibes, the leggy brunette’s ungroomed good looks are absolutely unmissable. With that wild crop and those killer cheek bones, Melissa has been a Proenza Schouler exclusive and a Chanel couture starlet. When the rock ‘n’ roll queen isn’t working her pretty face, she’s a free sprit who enjoys riding the ramps on her board. Starring alongside her friend Magda Laguinge in Fashion Director Charlotte Stockdale’s non-Olympic sport shoot for The Lights, Camera, Action Issue, NEXT Model Management signed Melissa (just Melissa to her friends) took time with i-D online to chat about style and skating.
