Leah Holleran

I’m Leah, a Berlin-based freelance movement director, model, and dancer working across fashion editorials, runways, film, and performance. Originally from Christchurch, England, I trained in contemporary dance from a young age and hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in the field, collaborating with choreographers and companies across Europe before settling in Berlin. Movement direction became the point where my love for fashion, photography, and physicality aligned. I bring a choreographic eye to fashion, shaping movement, posing, and spatial dynamics to enhance storytelling, emotion, and visual impact. I’ve collaborated with photographers, stylists, and designers across Europe to create striking editorials, guiding models to fully embody garments and concepts. My practice bridges contemporary dance and fashion, treating bodies and clothing as co-creators of narrative. Alongside my directing work, I have experience in modelling, walking runways and backstage assistance across fashion shows and events. Such as dressing, coaching, and styling models.
