Jon Kortajarena Redruello (Bilbao, Vizcaya, 19 de mayo de 1985) es un modelo español.


Sus comienzos en el mundo de la moda le llegaron cuando conoció a un asesor de la Agencia View en el año 2003.


Jon Kortajarena se convirtió en el fetiche fotográfico del diseñador Roberto Cavalli, con una melena al más estilo indio americano; una imagen muy diferente a la actual.


Pero fue su campaña publicitaria para la firma Versace la que le hizo un hueco fijo en la moda como uno de los modelos de pasarela más atractivos a nivel internacional.


En pasarelas, campañas publicitarias y revistas, Jon ha trabajado para firmas como Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, El Corte Inglés, Giorgio Armani, Diésel, Ermenegildo Zegna, John Richmond, John Galliano, Dolce & Gabbana, Guess y Victorio & Lucchino, entre otros.


Como dato destacable, se ha convertido en el muso del diseñador Tom Ford, haciendo de este joven modelo, uno de los diez mas cotizados y respetados en el mundo de la moda.



Jon Kortajarena, de 22 años, se convirtió en modelo un poco por casualidad. Hace 5 años, durante la semana de la moda, se encontró con un amigo al asistir a un desfile.

Eduardo Sayas (su actual representante) se fijó en él y le convenció para probar en el mundo de la moda.

Al ser menor, Jon tuvo que convencer a sus padres (bastante conservadores) para que le permitiesen ir a Paris.


Tras lo cual dejó Bilbao, su ciudad natal e hizo sus primeros pinitos en la capital francesa.


Ciertamente su carrera despega con la campaña de Roberto Cavalli fotografiada por Ellen Von Umbert.


ras lo cual todo vino rodado: Se instala en Nueva York, hace las fotos de campañas de Diesel, Gas, Armani…


El año 2009 promete ser prolífico.


Las canpañas para Tom Ford, Bally, Trussardi, Mango ya están terminadas.

A Jon todavía le queda tiempo para escuchar música pop, como la de los Sunday Drivers, por la que dice sentir debilidad, entre sesiones de fotos y cambios de horarios.


Y tras su mirada misteriosa, encontramos un ser delicado.


on nos explicaba recientemente: “soy un romántico empedernido. Creo en ese gran amor que puede cambiar toda tu vida en 5 días. Quizá sea todavía demasiado joven, pero espero que al final de mis días siga pensando igual”.



Jon, el último romántico.
