Getting Elena Velez Ready With Rico Nasty
Feb 11, 2025
For Fall 2025, Elena Velez debuted her largest show to date with "LEECH." The 2024 LVMH Prize semi-finalist has become known for her depiction of modern femininity and the imperfect American dream.
This season's collection continued those themes, as the show notes stated: "The age of the antihero is upon us. In a moment in time where our myths and grand narratives feel more obsolete than ever, we look towards new and imperfect depictions of greatness and potential."
Models, who represent the brand's nuanced woman who is both seductive and subversive, included Anna Delvey, Dorian Electra, Leah McSweeney and Rico Nasty, who took PAPER along to get ready for the show in an exclusive photo diary, below.
