Leilah Weinraub (born 1979) is an American filmmaker, conceptual artist, and the former chief executive officer of the fashion brand Hood By Air.[1] In 2018, she was named a Sundance Institute Art of Nonfiction Fellow.[2]
In 1998, Weinraub met American History X director Tony Kaye while working at the Los Angeles Boutique Maxfield's. In exchange for Kaye paying her Antioch tuition, Weinraub assisted him on his project Lake of Fire.[5][4]
In 2012, Weinraub began working on the critically acclaimed fashion label Hood By Air, eventually taking on the title of chief executive officer. She held this position until the brand's hiatus in 2017.[1][6] Weinraub was openly skeptical of the brand's celebrity endorsements and kept the company closed to outside investors.[1][4][7]
