A FIT, Print, showroom model and a plus size fashion expert, Laura Lee was born in New Jersey to a fiery Venezuelan mother & a Northern European father. As early as she can remember she aspired to be a model, however the fashion industry didn’t accept bodies like hers. But times have changed.
After she graduated college from Seton Hall with a degree in Communications, she became a graphic designer and worked for a few companies creating catalogs, magazine ads, billboards etc. Her Instagram account helped spark her career, and what started with OOTD mirror images turned into a modeling contact. From one second to the next her dream turned into reality.
She has graced the covers of 3 magazines during her career, and has been featured in campaigns for Target, Ryllace, Skinny Girl Brand, Squeem, Ashley Stewart, to name a few. With 3 Nationwide commercials for JCPenney & Target and countless print jobs, the girl stays busy.
Laura Lee’s FIT has helped companies grow their clothing lines and sellout their products. Being a live mannequin showing her clients how clothing will look on an actual person is her how she spends most days. She works with technical designers to create perfect fits for the plus size woman.
Being trained by the one and only Miss Coco Rocha at her Coco Rocha Model Camp has taken her runway career to another level. She may be short but she has a mean walk.
Laura Lee is also responsible for an incredible amount of fundraising and charity work. She works closely with HashtagLunchBag “Living through giving.” Where they make bagged lunches, complete with love messages, as a vessel to spread love and share our experiences to inspire others.
