LILY YEUNG
Thanks to her hippie mother,
Yeung developed a passion
for nature at a young age. The
Navajo Chinese model makes
her own clay face masks and
hair treatments with ingredients
like baobab oil and apple
cider vinegar. She counts
her heritage and her mum’s
example as motivators to start
her own small sustainable
fashion line. “I’ve gotten to
travel to the Navajo reservation
[near Chaco Canyon in
New Mexico] and meet my
indigenous family, and learn
more about my tribe,” she says.
“I’m committed to working on
the environmental injustices,
like fracking, that are
happening there.” Violette
created this cat-eye with liquid
liner (try Dior Diorshow On
Stage Liner in Vinyl Black, $56)
after noticing Yeung’s fierce,
feline vibe. “Sometimes what
you see or feel from a picture
of somebody is what she has
inside,” she says.
