Lori Harvey

Lori Harvey was born on January 13, 1997, in Memphis, Tennessee. She is the daughter of Marjorie Harvey and the adoptive daughter of comedian Steve Harvey. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Harvey was a competitive equestrian with aspirations to compete in the Olympic Games. However, an injury led her to change her career path, ultimately leading her into the fashion and business industries. She later attended college in Florida before discontinuing her studies to pursue other opportunities.

Harvey began her modeling career in 2015, signing with LA Model Management in the United States and Select Model Management in Europe. She quickly gained recognition, walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana’s 2017 Spring/Summer collection and appearing in campaigns for high-profile brands such as Michael Kors, Valentino, Pat McGrath’s Beauty Lab, and Burberry. Her career progressed into entrepreneurship with the launch of her skincare brand, SKN by LH, in 2021, and her swimwear line, YEVRAH, in 2023. SKN by LH received significant attention and sold out rapidly upon its initial release, demonstrating her impact in the beauty sector. In 2024, Harvey expanded her presence into acting with a role in Peacock’s limited series “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” and made her debut in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 60th-anniversary issue, further showcasing her YEVRAH swimwear collection.

Throughout her career, Harvey has consistently leveraged her platform through strategic brand partnerships and business ventures. Her collaborations extend beyond modeling to include a clothing collection with Naked Wardrobe in 2021 and curated eyewear capsules with Elisa Johnson’s brand. Her ability to combine fashion influence with entrepreneurial spirit has solidified her position as a significant figure in both industries, demonstrating consistent career progression and a diverse range of achievements.
