Lekeliene Stange was born in 1984 in the Netherlands. While she studied multimedia design, scouts noticed her in Rotterdam. Soon, Stange was signed by Marilyn Agency in the USA (New York City), and Women Management in Italy (Milan), and her career kicked off immediately.

She was recruited by the top names, like Marc Jacobs, Sonia Rykiel, Dolce & Gabbana, and others for various advertisements.
