Who is she: “I am a painter, a clothing designer, I’m an international model, I’m a corporate, high-end world-renowned artist. I also design jewelry. It’s so hard to pinpoint me. I do everything, but my No. 1 job is being a mom.”
Her fashion inspirations: “I am inspired by everything. Because I model, I’ll model for any designer, and I’ll paint. I’ve always had my own kind of groove. I think also that is why people like me still at my age modeling. I’m very different, I’m very real. I’ve always just kind of done my own thing. Working for Armani, Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld — I love to take their clothes and rip them up and manipulate them and make them Lia-style.”
Her fashion tip: “Let your clothes be your statement. But don’t look like you’re trying. When women try too much is when they lose their natural beauty. The most beautiful thing about a woman is her imperfections.”
I love beautiful, one-of-a-kind hand-painted scarves. I work with Turk & Turk and she just started her own scarf line. They are like pieces of art and I get dressed in them every day and I’m wearing art.
