Loveli

Loveli — born Izumi Shirahama in Matsuyama, Ehime, in 1989 — works under a single mononym, and I think that choice tells you something. It sounds light, almost throwaway, which makes it easy to underestimate the person carrying it. She built her name in Japanese fashion magazines, moved into television as a tarento, and has also worked as an artist. That last part is the piece I find most interesting. Modelling is a profession that fixes you permanently on the wrong side of the lens: you are the image, never the author of it. Crossing over into making things rather than being photographed is a harder move than it looks, and plenty of models talk about it without ever doing it. She also runs her own site and her own social accounts, which in the Japanese entertainment industry — where the agency traditionally speaks for the talent — reads as a quiet insistence on owning her own voice. A girl from Matsuyama who became her own brand in Tokyo.
