Welcome to Stade Louis II in Monaco – VIVA MODELS presents model Akari Higashi for CELINE Spring/Summer 2021

VIVA MODELS BERLIN presents young Japanese model Akari Higashi once again on GoSee. This time, we show her in the fast lane at the CELINE Spring/Summer ‘21 fashion show in Monaco, staged by creative mastermind Hedi Slimane. The petite Japanese native (who is fluent in German, Portuguese, Japanese and soon also English) inherited her talent for modeling – even though she initially wasn’t all to interested in it – from her mom, who had already worked as a successful model. We’re pretty sure about one thing: Akari will soon surpass her.

russh.com writes about the latest CELINE collection: “For the Celine 08 collection, Hedi Slimane looked to the younger generation asserting new codes – showing hope and optimism through these scarily uncertain times with the youth who know their way. Forever a Parisian at heart but with new energy – the S/S ‘21 woman has a whole new attitude.” Celine, founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana in Paris, is known internationally for high-class women’s fashion and accessories such as handbags and shoes. Since 1994, it has been a part of the French luxury goods company LVMH. Creative Director is Hedi Slimane, CEO: Séverine Merle.

VIVA MODELS BERLIN, the mother agency of exciting newcomer Akari Higashi, became known worldwide with the discovery of today’s fashion icon Nadja Auermann. The blond, who is celebrated for her cool and reserved charisma paired with long-legged sex appeal, by the way can still be booked via the Berlin-based agency to this day. GoSee : celine.com
