Devon Aoki

Devon Aoki is a cultural icon whose legacy spans fashion, film, and music. Of Japanese, German, and English descent, she emerged as one of the most distinctive and trailblazing faces of the late ’90s and early 2000s. At just 16, Devon redefined industry standards-becoming a global sensation and runway staple for top designers including Versace, Chanel, Givenchy, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Known for her striking features and avant-garde presence, Devon became a longstanding muse to creative forces like Karl Lagerfeld and Jeremy Scott. She appeared on covers of i-D, Vogue, Numéro, and The Face, cementing her status as one of the most photographed models of her generation. Her campaigns for YSL, Hugo Boss, Lancome, and Moschino remain some of the era’s most iconic.

Devon seamlessly transitioned into film, with memorable performances in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Sin City, and DOA: Dead or Alive. Her screen presence carried the same bold energy that made her a fashion standout-cool, commanding, and effortlessly original.

She has also starred in music videos for artists like Fergie (“M.I.L.F. $”) and The Killers (“Bones”), and returned to the runway for Moschino and Jeremy Scott, showing that her impact on fashion remains both timeless and contemporary.

In recent years, Devon has made a striking return to the spotlight, fronting major campaigns for Louis Vuitton and Acne Studios, and continuing her role as the face of Moschino Fragrance. Her presence in these high-profile collaborations reaffirms her influence as both a nostalgic muse and a modern-day fashion force.

A true multi-hyphenate, Devon Aoki continues to shape culture-whether on the catwalk, in film, or through her ongoing legacy as one of fashion’s most unforgettable figures.
