A Pistol Without A Trigger

LeeAnet Noble, daughter of performing artist and actress Lauretta Malloy, learned how to dance asa kid in an unlikely place: the knockabout streets of Cleveland. As she grew up, Noble immersed herself in the arts, joining a touring tap company and, later, a step troupe.

 “I always had a passion for choreographing and making unique things,” she says.

 “When I was in the step troupe, I choreographed a piece where we fused gumboot, step, and tap—and we also told a story while we were doing it. I really like to tell a story—or make an impact—do something unique and out-of-the-box.”

It was that sentiment that inspired designer Rick Owens to enlist the help of Noble and Malloy—along with Noble’s 40-person group of steppers, Team Vicious—to bring his Spring 2014 collection to life at Paris Fashion Week. “I had seen some avant-garde presentations before from Paris Fashion Week,” Noble says, “but nothing quite like what we were doing.”
