Ukrainian-born designer Lessja Verlingieri crafts sculptural, emotion-driven couture under her label LEVER Couture from a sunlit atelier in Los Angeles. Her work is a study in contrasts: fluid yet architectural, raw yet refined. Each piece is made-to-measure and built entirely in-house, often from vintage silks, reclaimed fabrics, and crystal-drenched fringe—elevating sustainability into something sensual. Worn by artists like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Anna Taylor Joy, Jennifer Lopez, Milla Jovovich, and many others, LEVER Couture has become a red carpet and editorial favorite, known for turning movement into silhouette and emotion into form.
