Leo Li’s passion for fashion motivated him into a career early, realizing he could see to his success by maintaining a ruthless dedication to hard work and giving it his all. He also understood that, in order to chase one’s dream and find fulfillment, one must have an positive outlook and embrace every single opportunity around him. And Li has done just that.

Paralleling his favorite pieces of fashion, the influencer’s social media content consists of all distinct content, most of which his followers can’t find elsewhere. His social media platforms brim with fresh, innovative media, evidence of the charming influencer’s ascension up in a world full of wonder– fashion.

Born and raised in XinJiang, China, the social media influencer and fashion stylist moved to the states at age fourteen and went to a high school in Jersey Shore. He now speaks Chinese and English. With a natural tendency to know trends, Li developed a fast fondness for la mode and an eye for magical cuts and colors.

After many efforts to enter the industry, Li soon found himself in the middle of it all. He sat next to the world’s biggest celebrities at New York Fashion Week runway shows, mingling with stars and attending shows such as Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Fendi, and Laquan Smith.

Li donned a Rolex & Supreme shirt to the Tom Ford show, where he observed two, famous supermodels tread down the runway in sparkles. Li saw the chanteuse of Crazy for You stroll the stage in black satin, and eventually, a finale that sported lots of black leather, lingerie, and silk tracksuits. He posted videos of the night on his social media, along with two photos of him and the models.

The Glam Slam: Session 3 was another extravagant event that Li attended during the week. Situated on the Rooftop Terrace of Spring Studios in Tribeca, this IMG models and Spring Studios happening took place to celebrate two of New York’s most observed affairs– The US Open Tennis Championships and New York Fashion Week. Li was able to view a panel at which mode designer Cynthia Rowley, Style of Sports Founder Claudia Lebenthal, and tennis player Alexandra Stevenson conversed on the combination of tennis and fashion. 

Several of Li’s adventures can be seen on his social media outlets, platforms that allow his viewers to live through his experiences and keep up with his inspirations. Content on Li’s channels is specific to his one-of-a-kind personality and enlivens its audience, his coverage on the page refreshing. The subject matter his viewers enjoy is meant to be entertaining and uplifting, a parallel to Li’s life. 

On his Instagram, there are various videos and photos that shine a spotlight on Li’s favorite mode pieces, some which he discovered during his time at Fashion Week. Photos of beautiful buildings, talented artists, and unique fits of Li’s choice fill the platform, along with Getty images taken of Li and friends at the Glam Slam. Upon witnessing, his followers can witness with an all-encompassing, imagery-filled expression of Li’s time in the fashion world.

Yet Li still has more to offer and show the world. A hard worker with big ideas, he has many plans to deeper direct his career toward fashion, especially as it relates to the runway. Because Li has a zest for styling models and friends, he prefers to enter even further into photography, styling, and, in the near future, modeling. 

Li wishes to one day share with others his specific image of every-day life vogue by exhibiting his personal style on the magazine covers of Vogue and Forbes. When asked about his success, he says, “I think success is being able to do what you love and make a joyful living off of it.”

The Manhattan, NYC-based social media leader and fashion stylist attended New York Fashion Week in September of 2022. You can find Li on Instagram @leojeany, TikTok @leojeany, Facebook @leojeany, and Twitter @leojeany, and Youtube @leojeany.
