About Me

Leighel is purposed to providing training, tools and inspiration to those who desire a career in fashion.

​​​

​​​​​Leighel's journey to style began at 12 when she made her own graduation dress on a toy sewing machine that you turn by hand.

She went on to the High School of Fashion Industries and The Fashion Institute of Technology. She worked for 25 years in the New York fashion industry for companies like Judy Bond, Ann Klein, and Butterick Patterns.

Leighel’s move to the DC metro area prompted her to create her own collection in 1997. She began selling her collection to boutiques across the country and developing relationships with shop owners and individual clients.



Leighel provides styles and services that keep her extraordinary clients in compliments.

Leighel says “my designs speak to the heart, body and soul of a woman. I create styles for the nurturer, the multi-tasker, and the sensual being in all of us. For me designing speaks to who we are as women." Sometimes I think my job is not a very important one. And then I come across someone whose view of herself is transformed during the process of creating the perfect thing to wear. It is then that I know that this is my life’s work, my spirit work."

Today Leighel's passion is to help fulfill the dreams of those who desire a career in fashion across the country.
