Lysa Cooper is a powerful embodiment of the Divine Feminine and what it means to live with courage, creativity and an open heart. Lysa is a true visionary and has always been on the cutting edge of creativity in many industries. I deeply appreciate her authenticity and heart felt wisdom.
For more than three decades, native New Yorker Lysa Cooper has helped shape the cultural landscape of fashion, hospitality, nightclubs and events on both the East and West coasts. She speaks openly about her reasons for leaving the world of styling and fashion after so many years of such a successful career and becoming the healer that she is today.
Lysa Cooper’s styling career spanned from Mary J Blige to Mos Def, all the way to her revolutionary relationship with Rihanna. Cooper was responsible for transforming the Bajan pop star into a fashion Icon. Other noteworthy stylist clients have included Beyonce, Aerosmith, Common, Kanye West, and Christina Aguilera. Cooper has also worked often with Directors Anthony Mandler, Mark Romanek, Little X, Hype Williams, and of course her collaborator Ellen Von Unwerth.
And throughout the eighties and nineties until today, Cooper has been honored to sit for several respected artists and photographers as muse. Keith Haring, Francesco Clemente, Alex Katz, Kenny Scharf, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ellen Von Unwerth, Bruce Weber, and Marc Baptiste have all invited her into their worlds, and she’s continued to glean inspiration for her own work to this day.
