Leigh Lezark is fast becoming one of our favourite models and role models, having pretty much single-handedly (well with the help of the other two DJs who make up the MisShapes collective) championed the just-rolled-out-of-bed look. Always one to buck a trend, yet forever gracing 'best-dressed' lists, the DJ come model is known for outspoken, 'tell it how it is' nature, and her latest comments are a good case in point.

At the Gucci Icon-Temporary store opening last Friday, the model commented on the development of different types of role models for the youth of today, saying, "I'm glad that a lot of kids - even now with the magazines that have come out - have something different to look up to. Not a tall five-foot-ten blonde model.....they can also look up to some faggots and a girl. I think it's great because I wish I'd had that, and I never did."
