"    Photo: Getty Images   Growing up, Leigh Lezark &amp;quot;skateboarded a ton,&amp;quot; she told us last night. &amp;quot;I fell in love with skateboarders and had my heart broken by skateboarders.&amp;quot; So when new sunglasses brand IVI\u2014started by a trio that includes professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek\u2014came calling, it was a natural fit (without the promise of heartache). &amp;quot;We like to think of ourselves as bridging that gap between skateboarding, action sports, street culture, and high fashion, and Leigh really brings that same aesthetic,&amp;quot; IVI global marketing director Brian Garofalow told ELLE.com. She appears in IVI&amp;#039;s latest lookbook, and hosted its launch party at the Bowery Hotel last night wearing a pair of oversized tortoise cat-eye shades. We caught up with her a few minutes before the soiree got underway.   Do you lose your sunglasses a lot? &amp;quot;No, I don&amp;#039;t. I&amp;#039;m very good with sunglasses. There are things like\u2026maybe headphones\u2014either they&amp;#039;re stolen or something\u2014but sunglasses I tend to really hold on to.&amp;quot;  Since the Met Gala is coming up: Did you ever have a punk phase? &amp;quot;Of course I did! I always had influences musically with punk, and then growing up, I dyed my hair every color. I did the dip-dye blue, before anybody was dip-dyeing their hair. And streaks of pinks and purples and whatnot. [I even] tried to spike it at points.&amp;quot; What was your punk anthem? &amp;quot;I mean, the Sex Pistols are the best.&amp;quot;  Speaking of dyeing your hair, you&amp;#039;re blonde... &amp;quot;I am! Well, this is my natural color. [When my hair was black], I would see the blonde coming in, and I was like, &amp;#039;I just wonder what it would look like?&amp;#039; So after a while, I was like, &amp;#039;You know what? It&amp;#039;s time for a change. Why not?&amp;#039; And just let it go. [But] I love black hair. I will probably end up going back at some point. Just when the mood strikes, I guess...&amp;quot; What&amp;#039;s your go-to song right now? &amp;quot;Oh man, it changes so much. Icona Pop [&amp;quot;I Love It&amp;quot;] is huge right now. That&amp;#039;s a go-to for right now, I would say.&amp;quot; Do you have any Memorial Day plans? &amp;quot;I gotta be honest, I just got back from Coachella and Peru, and I don&amp;#039;t even know\u2026When is Memorial Day? So no, not as of yet. We&amp;#039;ve just been doing a ton of traveling.&amp;quot;  What were you doing in Peru? &amp;quot;Lima Fashion Week. We were doing runway show music for a designer and then an after-party. We went to Machu Picchu though for a couple of days prior. It&amp;#039;s incredible. It&amp;#039;s something to be seen, for sure.&amp;quot; Are you as crazy about Game of Thrones as everyone else seems to be? &amp;quot;Yeah, but I got into it late, because I&amp;#039;m not really a fantasy kind of person. But then I started watching it and I couldn&amp;#039;t stop.&amp;quot; Who&amp;#039;s your favorite character? &amp;quot;Khaleesi! I want a dragon. I have the blonde hair, now I need a dragon!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
