2002 Photographer: Joshua Jordan Styling: Rosie Green Hair: Shay Ashual for Bumble and Bumble Makeup: Fiona Horne for MAC Size: 40K Source: Women Management Devon was just 13 when her godmother introduced her to Kate Moss.
The rest is modelling legend. The supermodel took one look at Devon
and frogmarched her into the model agency, Storm, who promptly signed
her on the spot. But her discovery isn't the only thing that's extraordinary
about Devon. Her 5ft 6in height means she is even smaller than her
mentor, Kate (who pushed the height limit herself at 5ft 7in), her
half-Japanese looks were still unusual in an all American-obssessed
industry, and her slight frame hardly sported the Barbie-esqe curves
of the Naomis and Helenas before her. But Devon broke the mould,
achieving iconic status and becoming one of Women agency's highest
earners and Chanel's catwalk queen.
