Career Overview :
Lindsey Wixson began her modeling career in 2009 at the age of 15 after signing with Vision Models in Los Angeles. Her unique look—defined by her bee-stung lips and signature tooth gap—quickly captured the attention of the fashion world. She made her runway debut in the Spring 2010 season, opening for Prada in Milan and closing for Miu Miu in Paris, which catapulted her into international recognition.
From 2010 to 2014, Lindsey became one of the most sought-after models, appearing in high-profile campaigns for brands such as Miu Miu, Jill Stuart, Versace, John Galliano, and Mulberry. She walked for leading designers including Chanel, Zac Posen, Rodarte, Jean Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab, and Dior. She graced the covers of Vogue editions in Japan, Korea, Russia, and Ukraine, as well as i-D and Elle Japan.
Between 2015 and 2017, Lindsey continued to dominate the fashion industry, participating in campaigns for Chanel, Fendi, H&M, Urban Outfitters, and Max Mara. She was regularly featured in haute couture shows for Chanel and Versace and walked in Chanel’s historic Resort show in Havana, Cuba.
In 2017, at the age of 23, Lindsey announced a temporary retirement from runway modeling due to a persistent foot injury that made walking in heels difficult. During this hiatus, she shifted her creative energy to design work—exploring interior design, ceramics, sculpture, and visual arts through her project Wixson Design.
She made a modeling comeback in 2018, appearing in editorial work and returning to runways for major brands like Fendi, Miu Miu, and Marc Jacobs. In 2023, she walked while pregnant for DSquared2 and MSGM, and in September 2024, she walked for Maison Yoshiki at Paris Fashion Week. Lindsey is currently active in both the fashion and design worlds, balancing creative projects, modeling work, and family life.
