This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Chris Leidy, the 34-year-old man pictured in the photograph above, is the grandson of fashion designer and icon Lilly Pulitzer. Who would have thought?

Leidy is a famous photographer who splits his time between NYC in the Flatiron District, and everywhere else in the world where he shoots his incredible photographs for a living (Town & Country). Though Leidy loved his grandmother very much, and appreciates all of her contributions to society, you won’t find any of her designs or apparel in his closets. Instead, he chooses to fill space with his shoe addiction. He, like many other guys I know, are more into that “ripped jeans and converse” look, as opposed to the bright colors that Lilly and her preppy collection inspire (T&C).

Gabriella is currently a junior at Fairfield University, where she is majoring in Marketing and minoring in Communications. She is Co-Campus Correspondent of Her Campus Fairfield with her roomie/best friend Pamela Grant! Gab can most likely be found with a Venti Starbs in hand, while wearing obnoxiously large sunnies (no shame), reading the most recent issue of Glamour Mag.
