Inspired by the 90’s hip hop and R&B era, the REALIGN collection by LEE REINA is blending bold masculine silhouettes with delicate handmade pleats using fine nylons, cotton gabardine and jersey

Fashion designer Leanne launched LEE REINA / lee.reina in 2015 after graduating from the University of East London and working for various designers. The label has previously showcased in London, Paris and Vancouver.

Born in London, her sense for style and fashion was evident from a young age. Influences of the 90’s hip hop and R&B era, travel and architecture are the foundation of her designs. Bold, masculine, uniform silhouettes are highlighted by delicate ruffles and pleats.

LEE REINA is for the unconventional, trendsetting woman.

Leanne is a multi-skilled professional who personally produces each design from pattern to garment in her London home-studio.

Oversize, masculine silhouettes are softened by handmade pleats using fine nylons, cotton gabardine and jersey.

All pieces were constructed by Leanne in London.
