“Call me Who-leesa, not Juu-lisa!” - Julissa
The Idea
I love sneakers! And, as a professional fashion stylist based in New York City I like to stand out.
So, I started to customize sneakers for myself. Soon, my friends and family were asking me to paint sneakers for them as well and from there the word has spread.
The Process
The kicks are all custom, and made to order. I will work with any sneakers or shoes, and customize it to suit your likes or design requests.
You can either provide clean sneakers or I will source your sneakers of choice and add the cost of the sneakers to the final bill. Take a look at the KICKS section for inspiration or send links of your ideas. Inquiries are replied to within 24 hours.
100% Uniquely Made For You
From painting, to re-working, it's custom made for you. Prices vary from kids to adults, design, details, etc. Each one of a kind pair is made to last, using permanent fabric painting methods and washes.
Jackets Launch SS ‘19
Who-leesa does jackets are a line of custom menswear jackets. Each item has been vintage sourced and with an eye for detail, re-imagined to be wearable art and a one of a kind piece. Hand painted and or sewn, jackets are designed to be genderless and season less.
Blazers + Denim Launch FW ‘19
Fall/Winter brings reworked custom blazers and denim to the already launched jackets. Continuing with the concept of upcycling, every garment has been recycled, reworked, and hand crafted to create modern ideas.
