SONOKO DELON: REDEFINING THE FACE OF FASHION
The fashion industry's rigid beauty standards are crumbling, and Sonoko Delon stands at the forefront of this revolution. The Japanese model—whose striking presence has graced Vogue Japan, TIME (US cover), and campaigns for avant-garde icons like Yohji Yamamoto and Vivienne Westwood—embodies the change the industry desperately needed.
"I hate being bored of myself," Sonoko declares. Her career—spanning Tokyo, London, and beyond—reflects this relentless pursuit of reinvention. Unlike models confined by traditional expectations, Sonoko treats her body as a living canvas, adapting to the visionary aesthetics of designers like Limi Feu and Yasuhiro Mihara.
While others look outward, Sonoko’s muse is internal. "My inspiration is my inner voice," she explains. This philosophy fuels her chameleonic ability to morph from edgy (Dazed UK) to elegant (TIME cover), proving that true beauty lies in self-awareness, not trends.
On Pandemic Shifts
"I change myself—that changes the situation." Sonoko’s response to COVID-19 mirrors her career: unapologetic self-determination. Where others saw disruption, she saw opportunity—returning to Europe with renewed creative hunger.
Wellbeing = Love
For Sonoko, wellness isn’t diets or workouts—it’s passion. "I'm always in love. Love, be loved... It’s the biggest happiness." This mantra radiates through her work, where every shot pulses with vitality and authenticity.
The Future? Hers.
Sonoko doesn’t just wear clothes—she challenges them. Whether walking for Westwood or starring in Max Germany, she represents a generation of models who curate their identities, not just their portfolios.
Final Thought:
"If I could inspire this world even a bit, that’s a reason for being born." Mission accomplished.
