In Studio With: Lesa Amoore - Top Model Truths

from The Fashion Insider · host Nakul Lax

Lesa Amoore had multiple Vogue covers. She walked for Armani, Versace and the biggest luxury houses in the world. She worked across Milan, Madrid, Munich, Paris and New York during one of the most iconic eras in fashion history.But Lesa’s story goes far beyond the covers and the catwalks. She speaks openly about her experiences at Elite Paris under Gérald Marie, the unwanted advances she had to fight off alone, and being pressured into a cosmetic procedure she never asked for.She talks about witnessing things on a yacht in Monte Carlo connected to Prince Andrew, and finding herself in the same circles as Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She also speaks about her advocacy work, her photography career, and everything she has learned from a life spent inside this industry.Lesa came into this conversation as a complete open book. Raw, honest and holding nothing back. She is one of the most intelligent, warm and inspiring women we have ever had on this show and we feel very privileged she trusted us with her story.Read More:2020 — Victims of Gérald Marie come forward (The Guardian)https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/nov/20/plain-sight-more-models-accuse-gerald-marie-sexual-assault-elite2021 — Models speak out against Gérald Marie (NYT)https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/style/models-harassment-gerald-marie.html2021 — Survivors invited to the French Senate (BBC)https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-585621492025 — The Fashion Workers Act signed into law (Vogue)https://www.vogue.com/article/the-fashion-workers-act-is-finally-law-what-happens-nowFollow LesaWebsite: www.lesaamoore.comInstagram: @lesaamooreThe Fashion InsiderInstagram: @nakullaxEmail: [email protected]​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
