Leylie Aghili, CEO of COLOURS, is a seasoned entrepreneur and fashion industry expert dedicated to revolutionizing the school uniform market. A Los Angeles native, she operated a multi-million dollar women’s clothing boutique for over a decade, excelling in buying, merchandising, and sales, and designing a celebrity-favored line of women’s shirting sold through her store and e-commerce site. Her journey began at the Archer School for Girls, where dissatisfaction with school uniforms inspired a lifelong passion for fit and fabric. Leylie’s collaboration with Archer in 2023 sparked the idea for COLOURS, which she envisions as the “FIGS” of school uniforms. With her deep industry expertise, proven business acumen, and ability to navigate niche markets, Leylie is uniquely positioned to lead COLOURS into a transformative era in the school uniform industry.
