"Fashion is, by design, mood-depending, and energy-altering. That is my favorite thing about it." Lesa Amoore

Lesa is a mom with a successful modeling career under her belt, including Vogue covers, world travels, and that “less is more” style that comes from experience. When you’ve been around enough of the new season’s runway boots, you develop an eye for the eternally perfect ones that take you everywhere and go with everything, like her buttery leather Margiela ones that have a nail for a heel. As she says, “they are just rock and roll enough, without being over-the-top or losing any classic perks.” It’s hard to deny their classic, edgy power when worn with anything from a clean black dress to leggings to jeans. Lesa’s penchant for the understated brought on an interesting dilemma when iconic hairdresser Oribe convinced her to play with the color of her natural blonde locks. She discovered that when she was a redhead and dressed just a hint provocatively in garders and stockings, she would attract just the right kind of guy. However, as a platinum blonde in a similarly suggestive outfit, all of the “wrong” heads turned in the room. When Lesa gets a little frilly, it’s a state-of-the-art Martine Sitbon vintage blouse – the designer herself, like Lesa, is minimal and modern.

    Lesa is absolutely fabulous!! I love the way she completely understands that special place where fashion, style, and love intersects. Who can really deny the wisdom of a woman standing six (6) feet tall in nail-heeled boots?!

    Not only is this woman gorgeous in a totally natural unpretentious way, but she also knows how to wear black without being boring or a predictable fashion zombie. I love everything she pulls out and I love that she wears a Rite Aid $7 skirt as a dress, just as easily as she wears Margiela boots.

    From her minimalism to her self-awareness, I am totally blown away. Perhaps someday I’ll be less obsessed with prints and will be able to organize my closet that way – she literally takes the effort out of effortless-ness!
