Leon Wu is the CEO and Founder of agender luxury clothing label Sharpe, which creates custom and ready-to-wear clothing, accessories and lifestyle products. Two years ago, inspired by the LGBTQ community, Wu created the trademarked formula AndropometicsTM, which revolutionizes how one measures the body based on an individual’s gender identity and
queer style. Using over 4000 measurements from custom clients, Wu developed a new gender-neutral standard of sizing for the Sharpe ready-to-wear line, now available at the online store at www.sharpesuiting.com.
Sharpe has become a rising name in Hollywood providing custom clothing for celebrity and entertainment industry clients. Sharpe suits have been photographed on the red carpet at Cannes, Oscars, and Emmy’s, worn in Top 40 music videos, and featured in numerous publications including The Huffington Post, Fashionista, The Advocate, Frontiers Media, Curve, Dapper Q, Qwear, and Buzzfeed.
