Leo Mandella in conversation with Cora Delaney

Tonight’s dinner guest is Leo Mandella. A lot of people know Leo for his large online profile, but it was his passionate love of fashion that was the catalyst for his career, which has seen him grow from a hardcore streetwear enthusiast to a model and brand ambassador for the likes of Gucci, Converse and Fendi. When he was 12 years old, Leo discovered streetwear. It wasn’t just a means of earning resale money or building an online following, he found himself in a community of like-minded individuals.

Interviewing him is Cora Delaney, a wonderful force of nature and founder of talent agency EYC, of which Leo’s is a client.

Leo and Cora discuss genderless fashion, the evolution of streetwear culture, luxury fashion houses collaborating, social media trolling and Leo’s admiration of Tyler the Creator, ASAP and…Joey Essex.
