Fashion Designer

Hi, I’m Leigh Anne Balzekas, Co-owner and Designer at The Disco Dolls Studio. I was trained as a fashion designer and spent many years honing my skill set, experimenting, and working for other people in their businesses.  These experiences prepared me, and gave me a unique perspective when I started The Disco Dolls Studio with my sister Kristine. 

I am not afraid of any fabric. I relish the challenge of working with all types of textures and drapes. I believe in working with the fabric and form to create a comfortable stylish relationship. From the beginning of my journey in fashion and entrepreneurship, I held a deep conviction to do things in an ethical way. What that means to me is honoring people and the planet before profit. We have imbued this value into all parts of The Disco Dolls Studio and Disco Dolls Designs.  I love all animals, but I am a cat lady at heart, my partner and I have 5 rescues at home. Before you ask, yes they have their own insta @ljcatclowder. I am inspired by music art, and other creators. When I need to shake things up, I dance it out! 

I am a visual and tactile designer and believe that comfort does not have to be sacrificed for style. I love creating performance looks whether that performance is on a stage, at your wedding, or going to the grocery store. Through our design line “The Uniform Project” I aim to create classic silhouettes that are convertible to your unique style and shape. In the boutique, I am here to help you discover what sustainable luxury is about, I love having conversations about skincare, perfume, and tarot decks” 

I hope to chat with you soon, stop by the shop or send me a message on my personal page IG @leighannebalzekas
