Lea Seelenmeyer, the face of our Summer ’26 campaign, is a mother of two, model, and Creative Director of NOWE Studios. Born in Berlin and currently based in Lisbon, she grew up closely connected to the theater world. Lea began modeling at 16, driven by curiosity and a love of travel, before stepping back to focus on her young family after the birth of her first child. Today, she approaches modeling with renewed intention while building NOWE Studios alongside her husband. We spoke to Lea about the inspiration for NOWE, juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, and how her creative life has shifted over time.
