Born with one hand and an unstoppable spirit, Kelly Knox has fearlessly redefined beauty standards, paving the way for a more inclusive fashion industry. As a model, disruptor, healer, and mother, she challenges outdated ideals, diversifies representation, and smashes the taboos surrounding disability with power and grace.
Rooted in her strong East End heritage, Kelly’s fighting spirit was forged in resilience. But beyond the fire, she is also deeply connected to her heart, her feminine essence, and the unseen realms of spirit. A certified Angelic Reiki healer and Soul Plan practitioner, Kelly’s connection to the divine has been innate since childhood—she channels sacred messages to activate healing and empower others on their path. She is both lover and fighter, embodying the balance of wildfire and honey—untamed and passionate yet profoundly nurturing and full of purpose.
From winning BBC’s Britain's Missing Top Model to gracing the runways of London Fashion Week and fronting campaigns for global brands like Primark, Kelly’s impact is undeniable. She has been a force in changing the face of fashion—literally—appearing in high-profile editorials and standing alongside industry leaders advocating for true representation.
With a rebellious heart, a philanthropic soul, and a mind that sees beyond limits, Kelly is not just breaking barriers—she is building a new reality. Whether amplifying the voices of disabled mothers, fighting for authentic inclusion, or guiding others through spiritual awakening, she leads with love and revolution in equal measure.
Kelly Knox is more than a model—she’s a movement. And she’s only just begun!
