From Olympic equestrian dreams to global fashion runways and entrepreneurial ventures in skincare
In short: Lori Harvey has navigated a multifaceted career as a model, socialite, and entrepreneur. Beyond her high-profile presence in the fashion industry and media, her journey includes a background in competitive equestrian sports, significant business launches, and a public life that frequently intersects with celebrity culture and legal scrutiny.
Born in Memphis in 1997, Lori Harvey was raised in Atlanta and initially pursued a path as a competitive equestrian with aspirations of reaching the Olympic Games. This athletic trajectory was curtailed by an injury sustained during her college years in Florida, prompting a pivot toward the fashion industry. By 2015, she had secured representation with agencies in the United States and Europe, eventually walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana and appearing in campaigns for major houses including Burberry, Michael Kors, and Valentino.
Harvey expanded her professional footprint into entrepreneurship in 2021 by launching the skincare brand SKN by LH, followed by a clothing collaboration with Naked Wardrobe. Her business ventures have not been without controversy; in 2022, she faced criticism from health experts regarding a 1200-Calorie diet she promoted on TikTok. Additionally, her brand faced public comparison to Kim Kardashian’s subsequent skincare launch, SKKN by Kim. By 2023, she diversified further into swimwear with the brand Yevrah Swim and began transitioning into acting, with a role in the 2024 Peacock mini-series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.
Her personal life has frequently drawn significant media attention, marked by high-profile relationships with figures such as Memphis Depay, Future, and Michael B. Jordan. These associations have occasionally spilled into the public sphere, such as when rapper Future referenced her in a song. Harvey’s public profile also includes legal challenges; in 2019, she was arrested following a collision in Beverly Hills. She was subsequently charged with two misdemeanors, including hit and run resulting in property damage and resisting an officer, ultimately accepting a plea deal in 2020 that resulted in two years of probation.
