'When I think of Black women, 'originality' is the word. It is something that is in our DNA,' says supermodel PreciousLeeXOXO, who recently walked nearly every show at Paris Fashion Week. Read brkmrn's interview with Lee, here:
. At the most recent New York Fashion Week—the first full-fledged, in-person extravaganza since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic—she appeared in seven shows. That was all before the model arrived at the Met Gala in a sparkling silver tailored Area gown thatfrom the braided ponytails and protective hairstyles she saw and wore growing up, in her father’s hair salons in her hometown of Atlanta.
I’ve always loved fashion and photography, and I was in Clark’s homecoming fashion show. I loved being around that energy of kids who love fashion—putting on their own production, making the designs. Even then, it was progressive to have a curve girl in the show. Then I ended up going to an open call for an agency with my friend, and I was offered a contract. At the time, I was more concerned about getting back to campus for my next class.
When I was in college, I bought this Balenciaga jacket. That was when I started to buy seasonally. I called them “stunt pieces.” That is how I started to shop, and that is my method to this day. That Balenciaga coat was like, I know it’s really expensive. I don’t care. I need it. This is an investment.I have a leather jacket that belonged to my sister, Charisma, who died. It’s an oversize purple, black, and white leather jacket, and it has a giant eight ball on the back.
“How did you become so confident?” To me, that question is like, “Wait a minute, how are you so happy and going for it? You’re not worried about people judging you? You’re really going to move to New York?” It feels like you’re saying it was so impossible to think of it happening. I think that question is loaded. Another one is, “How do you feel about being called ‘plus’?” I don’t really like answering that, but I continue to answer it because I know we’re in a pioneering situation; it’s new.
