Devon Aoki is the frontwoman of the new fashion wave that appreciates women of various ethnicities. Born August 10th, 1982, Devon Edwenna Aoki is the daughter of Japanese Olympic wrestler and Benihana steakhouse magnate Rocky Aoki and Anglo-Bavarian jewelry designer Pamela Hilburger.
A New York native, she grew up in the swank 'burbs of Malibu, only to move back to her hometown in her early teens. It is rumored that she was discovered at a Rancid concert in NYC, where she gate-crashed. She was 13 when her godmother introduced her to Kate Moss, who later took Aoki as her apprentice.
At 14, she moved to London with her mother, divorced from Rocky Aoki, and her siblings. There she joined Storm Model Management, which also represented her mentor Moss. Says Aoki of Kate, "It was cool because when I got to know Kate, I realized that she was not only incredibly beautiful, but smart, too." Both women soon appeared together on the cover of Interview magazine. |
