JET SET WITH ERICA PELOSINI
Erica Pelosini is like a shot of fine Limoncello. Small but fiercely affective. With sun-kissed skin and caramel highlights, Erica wears Los Angeles well. However this Italian born siren from Florence is anything but idle.
As a stylist, editor, creative director, and ambassador to brands like Christian Louboutin, Roberto Cavalli, Emilio Pucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Mary Katrantzou, Erica’s poetic eye and ability to tell a fantastical story through fashion is the driving force in her brand. Her name is well known in the fashion publishing world for being a contributor to Harper’s Bazaar UK and US, Vogue in Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Dutch, and Japan, as well as at L’Officiel Paris, Russia, Italy, C Magazine and style.com Arabia.
Married to Dutch shoe designer Louis Leeman, whom she launched his eponymous label with, she is also a creative director at their family business. Louis and Erica recently introduced the women’s collection, and have been forever travelling in search of inspiration, the latest trends, and celebrating the brand.
With her various creative directing projects in rotation, Erica is constantly on the go. We asked Erica to show us how she jet sets in style and what her absolute necessities are when she is away from her abode in LA. Wheels up.
