You have to see Precious Lee up close to absorb her glow, an energy that is integral to her beauty. It's been obvious, from her first editorials in store catalogs—where she posed like she was in a couture campaign—to her more recent presence on runways and magazine covers, that she's a model the fashion industry wants to keep watching. The last few years have seen a dazzling rise for Lee, who belongs to the category of "curve models," but who went from the typical domain of such models—lingerie, swimsuits—to modeling the clothes of Versace, Fendi x Skims, and Moschino, proving again that high fashion can be sold to consumers with an array of body types. It's a victory for a Southern Black woman who has continually resisted expectations of what she can and cannot do.
Not long before we first arranged to meet, Lee was in Atlanta, seeing family for the holidays. I'd been down South recently, too, visiting my Alabama hometown, about two and a half hours away from where Lee grew up. It was mostly sunny in both places, but now we're sitting outside a New York restaurant with a heater hanging over us, a cold wind pushing against the table, and we're freezing—well, I am.
She is somehow warm in a red crop top with extra-long sleeves by Hanifa and vintage denim under an open black Balenciaga leather coat with Margiela Tabi shoes. "I run hot," Lee tells me, dropping her large quilted Telfar bag on the ledge beside us. Her black hair is long and straight, and her eyebrows are bleached blonde from a recent photo shoot. Lee and I are happy to discover our shared origins, despite the darkening gloom. "I love being from the South," she says. "There's something so warming from every person that you meet."
