With 125 thousands followers and counting on Instagram, Aleali May, an image consultant, model, and fashion icon is truly an inspiration to all street style connoisseurs.

Aleali May was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. May grew up going to a school that only allowed students to wear uniforms, which ultimately impeded May to flourish in the fashion world as a child. It wasn’t until high school that May was able to express her appreciation for clothing. Good friend Domo Genesis suggested that May start a Tumblr to showcase her world. May started posting each day, and the blog became loved by thousands.

May relocated to Chicago to attend college at Columbia College Chicago. It was in college that May began to become involved in the high fashion world. Working at Louis Vuitton and RSVP Gallery May was able to find a new kind of love for styling. Today, May has styled many stars including Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, and Tinashe. She is currently shooting photos and traveling to build her website.
