Model Kiko Mizuhara has denied that she's ever met Harry Styles. That's pretty interesting, because the two were spotted together on February 2nd in Toyko, celebrating Harry's 25th birthday. The couple was joined by Queer Eye's Bobby Berk and a number of others. On January 13th, Kiko tweeted in Japanese that she has never met Harry. But there she was, on Bobby Berk's Instagram story in the video with Harry. They weren't standing super-close to each other or anything, but at the very least this proves that the model knows Styles. Are they dating? Who is Kiko Mizuhara?
1. She was born in Dallas
Kiko Mizuhara was born Audrie Kiko Daniel on October 15, 1990 in Dallas, Texas. Her mother is Korean-Japanese and her father is American. She has a sister named Ashley Yuka Daniel who is 4 years younger than her who is also a model working under the name Yuka Mizuhara.. Her family moved to Japan when she was two years old. She holds a Japanese nationality. Her parents divorced when she was 13.
2. She is a multi-hyphenate
These days, Kiko is a model, actress, singer, and designer. As a designer, she had her first collaboration with Opening Ceremony in the Spring of 2013 in conjunction with the opening of the flagship store in Japan. The collection was inspired by 1920s Paris. In 2016, Mizuhara established KIKO Co. Ltd. (commonly referred to as “OFFICE KIKO”). In 2017, she launched her own designer brand called “OK.”
3. She started modeling at 12

4. She loves to travel
As a model, Kiko travels all over the world for photoshoots. Recently she went to Peru and visited Machu Picchu; you can see the pics on her IG account. This must give her plenty to talk about with Harry, who, of course, traversed the globe during his days touring with One Direction.
