Misshapes to Chanel: See Leigh Lezark’s Style

Leigh Lezark’s been spinning since before “It” girl fashion DJs were all the rage. Her trademark sharp bob caught attention when she started throwing the super scene-y Misshapes parties back in 2004. She frequently appeared on the party’s blog, posing against club walls staring blankly while clad in all black, before making her way into the fashion scene. Teaming up with everyone from Chanel to Jeremy Scott for exclusive show soundtracks, and starring in ad campaigns for brands like Sportmax and H&M, the musician turned model has fine-tuned her edgy style along the way. Known to bare her midriff in recent years with a crop top or bralet, she still returns to her punk party-girl ways, showing up to Fashion Week in cut-up jeans and classic leather. See her style evolution in the slideshow below.
