LEE REINA is a contemporary womenswear label that is inspired by confident, independent and determined women whom embody the 'tomboy' culture while exuding sex appeal. LEE REINA illustrates women in roles often associated with men. Oversized, utility proportions and bold silhouettes in uniformed two pieces and boiler suits that are often combined with flirty, handcrafted ruffles and pleats. The label is influenced by Leanne's upbringing within London's urban culture, travel, old skool Hip Hop and R&B, family values and modern art and architecture.
