Precious Lee is making her mark and she is here to stay. Trailblazer supermodel Precious Lee is making the fashion industry more inclusive by appearing on one magazine cover after the next. It is hard to keep up with her, from countless magazine covers to the runways of New York Fashion Week, she is taking over the fashion industry. Over the last few years Precious Lee has become one of the biggest names in the industry. She recently walked for Versace and Fendi, did a campaign with Calvin Klein and Fenty Beauty, was part of the 50th Anniversary Issue of W alongside Naomi Campbell and others, and was the finale to the Vogue World runway show.
Precious Lee has made fashion history by being one of the first plus sized models to walk for Versace. Since then she has walked in three other Versace shows and was in a Versace campaign last year. She has also walked for Michael Kors, Christian Siriano, Prabal Gurung, Jean Paul Gaultier and Balmain.
As fashion week is becoming more diverse and inclusive she is redefining traditional beauty standards and encouraging women to love their bodies. She is what she always longed to see on a catwalk, “I felt like I was walking for so many people,” Lee said in an interview with Vogue. Not only is she making her dreams come true but many are living theirs through her.
