Leatham, 52, has been working for over 30 years since and has become a master at it! He got his first job at the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills and later transferred to the George V Hotel in Paris in 1994.
Given his incredible credibility, the designer has earned the trust of celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Dolly Parton, the Dalai Lama, Cher, Sofía Vergara, and Kanye West, to name a few. In fact, Kris Jenner officiated his wedding in 2017, and Kim wrote the foreword of his book The Art of the Flower.

“Who I loved to work with the most was my dear friend, Tina Turner, who was like a mother to me. My favorite collaborations were with Tina because she had such a beautiful sense of style and taste,” he said to Hello Magazine.
He recalled designing for Turner, whether for her home or wedding florals, as some of his most treasured memories.
