"I don’t think about the people around me when I get dressed, I think with the place in mind. I try to dress for the place, so it will be a complete composition- the clothes, where I am, and who I'm with." Lux Leekley

Lux knows what she likes, never shops retail except for Wolford tights, and almost always wears vintage Ferragamo shoes. She makes St. John look ultra-hip and she understands the invaluable distinction of a navy blazer – her little boys’ Pierre Cardin is her favorite. Lux adds rich detail with an edge to her vast array of vintage dresses with her French lace tights that are nude at the top and look like thigh highs and her Kiki de Montparnasse elbow-length gloves that her boyfriend gave her. There is an intense and dark beauty to her that makes her look like she stepped out of one of the many nineteenth century novels that she reads. Lux’s tattoo says “Non-Serviam,” from James Joyce’s “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,” which essentially means not to conform. The protagonist, Stephen Daedalus, in his decision to follow the life of the artist, tells Cranly, “I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church.” She is presently studying in Italy and lists her interests as film, photography, writing, literature, art history, anthropology, religion, and the sacred, all of which informs her style. Individualist is Lux’s middle name.
