Lia Bass - The Enlightened Entourage - Tourage - Episode 16

Lia Bass otherwise known as Oldirtiislim or Slim has been modeling for about 2 years now. Lia had played basketball since the age of 8 but as she got older, knew she had something more, creatively, to offer the world. After connecting with an amazing Brooklyn based designer the rest of her modeling career began to blossom. In February 2017 she got her first big spread on the cover of ELEGANT magazine and since has walked in New York Fashion Week for designers such as MAISON the FAUX & Gypsy Sport along with being featured on platforms such as the Boston Voyager & HYPEBEAST. Lia hopes to walk in multiple shows spring 2019 at NYFW, potentially in Paris Fashion Week for a high end designer, and land a Netflix gig expanding into acting as well. Lia added, "Balenciaga, Gucci, or Fenty for Rihanna would really make me feel so full… I never want to limit myself to one lane, & I want to shine purely in each as I swerve in & out on this beautiful journey to my personal oasis. I love each & every one of you who care to join me on this ride. Stay golden." Lia has been inspired by and likes to think of herself as having Erykah Badu energy with a style mix between Andree 3000 & Dennis Rodman.

The Enlightened Entourage, Tourage Episode 12 - Rachel Fournier

When Rachel Fournier was three she told her mother it was "her life" and that she would wear what she wanted- that comment sort of set the direction for her life. Rachel bought an old produce truck and turned it into a clothing store on wheels and continued to grow her brand into what is known now as a Gogarbaj. She has an insatiable appetite for life and believe in experiencing as much as possible. Her purpose is inspiring others to live every day in a way that excites them.

"I try not to take myself too seriously because life is so darn serious. I believe in change, yes changing your underwear, but also changing your mind. It’s okay to not always know, not knowing can inhibit growth. I believe in following your heart and of course your stomach. I tend to go wherever there is good food, and thus far, it has never pointed me in the wrong direction." - Rachel Fournier
