Interview With Litsy Leopard

Clothing Designer Litsy Leopard

by Cary

What first got you interested in designing clothing?

When I was in high school I used to make my own clothes and doodle designs in class. I finally just taught myself how to sew properly when I was 23 or so! Then just went from there!

How did you get started with your clothing line?

I started sewing with a sewing machine reworking vintage into odd little garments, then I progressed and progressed into making things from scratch and starting my label.The rest is a work in progress!

Have you designed for anyone famous?

Not yet:)

Fetish wear is popping up more and more in mainstream entertainment and everyday life, how do you feel about that?

I love it, I hope that more and more people would wear costumey things so I could make more sales;)

I'm fascinated by the process that someone can see a flat sheet of material and somehow know how to turn it into clothing. Can you explain how that works?

I honestly have no idea. I wish I could. I get these intrusive ideas of garments dancing around in my head and I absolutely HAVE to make them or it won't go away. I lose sleep and never stop thinking haha.

Are there any other creative mediums you work in?

I make accessories and sets for photos!

What kind of music do you like?

50s,60s,70s,80s, rock (punk, rockabilly,alternative,classic,metal) pop(dance, rnb, rap) electronica (drum and bass,electro,jungle,breaks,trance)....yeah everything haha. Even musicals.

What do you like to do for fun?

Hmm.....drink coffee, watch movies,design,make jewelery, accessories,roller skate, dance, go for drives, listen to music, shows......
