With multiple degrees in both art and fashion, Newfoundland- born LESLEY HAMPTON is more than qualified to pursue the challenge she’s set for herself – producing fashion that “promotes body positivity, mental health awareness and diversity.” She also incorporates influences of her First Nations heritage and Third Culture Kid identity into women’s wear that ranges from glamorous, show-stopping evening ensembles to snappy athleisurewear. Lesley’s Cashmere Collection 2019 couture creation is inspired by contemporary legend Christian Siriano, notably by his incredibly intricate design work. 

LESLEY HAMPTON shares Fashion Legend Christian Siriano’s dedication to creating clothes that flatter any and all body types. Hence the nearly eight yards of Cashmere BT that went into her dramatically full-skirted, one-shoulder gown. Fashioning all the delicate flowers that border each tier of the skirt consumed many of the 40 hours Lesley invested in her glamorous plus-size creation.
