Shevie Tanaka was born into the world of fashion—runways, studios, fabrics, and flashing cameras were as familiar to her as lullabies and bedtime stories. Her mother, Lara Tanaka, was a rising fashion designer known for her bold color palettes and avant-garde creations. Her father, Hiroshi Tanaka, a stoic but brilliant Japanese businessman, turned Lara’s creative genius into a global brand: Tanaka Atelier.From a young age, Shevie was admired for her beauty, charisma, and presence, often appearing in the background of her mother’s campaign shoots. But behind the glamorous curtain, Shevie’s world was more fragile than it seemed.
When Shevie was 13, tragedy struck. Lara died in a car accident while driving home from a late-night runway show in Milan. The loss shattered Shevie’s world. Her mother was her protector, her warmth, her light. With Lara gone, the house grew colder. Hiroshi, unable to grieve openly, buried himself in work, shutting Shevie out emotionally. His parenting turned mechanical—he provided everything materially but nothing emotionally.As Shevie grew into a teenager, the pressure to live up to her mother’s legacy intensified. Hiroshi pushed her into modeling, not out of belief in her dreams, but to maintain the family brand’s relevance. Every photoshoot, every catwalk, felt like a silent audition ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

for her father’s approval. And it never came.Shevie became the face of Tanaka Atelier by 19, but despite the fame, she felt invisible to the one person she most wanted to be seen by.With no real emotional support and an overwhelming need to numb her feelings of abandonment, Shevie began drinking. At first, it was social—after parties, industry events. But soon it became habitual. A glass to get through the day. A bottle to sleep at night. Alcohol filled the silence her father left. It dulled the ache of her mother’s absence and gave her temporary courage to face a world where she felt like a puppet dressed in designer clothes.Now, Shevie juggles her modeling career and her reluctant training to eventually run Tanaka Atelier. On the outside, she’s confident, poised, and graceful. But inside, she’s fighting a silent war—against addiction, abandonment, and the gnawing question of whether she is truly loved or just a beautiful extension of a brand.She tries to quit drinking, sometimes managing a few weeks of sobriety, only to fall back during moments of loneliness or confrontation with her father. Their relationship remains strained—filled with unspoken grief, misaligned expectations, and the weight of a shared legacy neither of them knows how to carry together.
