Elli Rose (エリーローズ, Erī Rōzu)[2] (born Eri Arakawa; 25 September 1986), is a Japanese fashion model, DJ, talent and actor.[3]
She belongs to LesPros Entertainment. Her old stage name was her real name Eri Arakawa (荒川エリ, Arakawa Eri). She is particularly famous for her appearance in the women's fashion magazine ViVi.[4]
Eri Arakawa was born in Tokyo, Japan, on 25 September 1986.[3] Her father is Japanese professional photographer Hiroyuki Arakawa (荒川弘之, Arakawa Hiroyuki),[5] and her mother is British creative director Maxine Van-Cliffe Arakawa (マキシーン・ヴァンクリフ・荒川).[6] At 12 years old, photographer Kishin Shinoyama spotted her and collaborated with her mother to release the photobook "ELLI-ROSE".[3] Shinoyama recommended her to join a modeling agency.[3]
Career
When she was 12, she made her debut as a model (Nicomo) for the teen fashion magazine Nicola.[7][8] Since then, she has been active as a model for women's fashion magazine ViVi and lingerie brand Ravijour and she appeared on ViVi for 10 years from 2005 to 2015.[7][9]
When Gina, a sister magazine of JELLY, was first published in 2011, she appeared in the first issue with Kana Oya, Shaula Vogue, Kozue Akimoto, Maiko Takahashi, Aya Hoshi and four other models.[10]
In 2007, she started working as a club DJ with fashion model Diego Limma and the DJ unit Van Cliffe.D. The unit name comes from the combination of her companion's name Diego ("D") and her British surname Van Cliffe. Thereafter, she worked alone as Van Cliffe from high-brand parties to local festivals such as Trussardi, Shu Uemura and Yves Saint Laurent Beauté.[3] In March 2014, she was a DJ at an event of Veuve Clicquot at Isetan in Shinjuku.[3] She changed her DJ name to "Elli Arakawa" in the spring of 2015.
