After Kathleen did her interview with Nikia (and we realized that our models were pretty amazing young women), we decided to try and involve more of the models into the blog as often as possible. This week I got in contact with Ali Lee, who wrote me some pretty amazing things about her life, how she got into modeling and what her favorite items of the season are.
"Modeling, like dancing, is an outlet that I can use to express myself through movement and expression.- Ali Lee
After studying classical ballet for 12 years, Ali Lee made it into a modeling agency in her home of Hawaii. There is something to say about the fact that Ali grew up in Hawaii, where she states, she found "beauty in many different forms, but focused most of [her] energy into [her] dancing." After dancing for so long, Ali Lee was trained to work hard and soon started modeling for trunk shows, fashion shows, and even got to walk for Chanel!
Ali took a break from modeling to go behind the scenes and study film at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. It wasn't until her senior year, when Ali became friends with a musician in L.A. and started performing in his music videos, that she hopped back on the main stage.
Ali says this of modeling: "I love being in front of the camera, and I have my love for the stage to thank."

"Fashion is an extremely fickle world, but I feel like you can never go wrong with simple basics. A good fitting pair of tapered black pants are necessary, and its worth it to splurge a little. I am currently looking for the perfect pair of black, buttery leather ankle boots with buckles and an Inspector Gadget style trench coat." -- Ali Lee
