Growing up in Florence, Italy, Erica Pelosini was influenced by her breathtaking surroundings. “I was lucky,” she smiles. “I grew up in a house full of frescoes, so I’ve always been very visual for art, for beauty. For me, everything has to look great.”
Fashion became a natural outlet for a young Pelosini, who got her start as a model. “A lot of people in my family went into fashion, and one of my aunts was a big, big model. She was a muse to Chanel,” she begins. After her grandmother got Pelosini into modeling, “I was so happy with clothing. I was saying to my mama, ‘I want to be a designer when I grow up or work for a magazine.’ We always had Vogue magazine at home so, literally, I was reading Vogue since I was 6 years old. When I was 13, I did a show for Armani and I was like, ‘Oh, what I really want is to be the one in charge and not wear the clothes, but actually to tell a story with the clothes.’ ”
After studying fashion in Florence, Milan and Paris, Pelosini and her husband, Louis Leeman, ultimately landed in Los Angeles, where they made their home base. “I have to say that’s my favorite city in the world. After living nine years in Paris, I came to L.A. for a job and I love it here. And now I’m bringing the fashion to the screen, which is fantastic. That is such a nice, new chapter of my life that I am enjoying very much.”
