Alongside her photos, Deva shed light on her relationship with her parents and how they have encouraged her career in the industry.
She told the magazine: ‘They taught me to always look forward, to always protect myself, to always be kind, and always keep wonder in mind.
‘There’s much more, but the point is that they’ve taught me how to handle unexpected situations and live by my own rules, while always respecting people and the environment I’m in.
‘I remember browsing through my mom’s huge fashion books that she kept in the house for as long as I can remember.
‘Everything was so looked after and beautiful. I knew I wanted to work in that industry at some point in my life, but I definitely didn’t expect to love it this much and make a living out of it.’
Deva continued: ‘I really did not want to be an actor for most of my childhood. It was something that everyone kept asking me as a kid and it really pushed me away from that career path.
‘However, with time, I started getting more and more interested in the cinematic industry, the people, and the experiences it could offer.’
Deva has been making leaps and bounds into the world of beauty and fashion, sharing a cover of Italian Vogue with her mother for the July 2021 issue.

The budding model has certainly made a name for herself in the business and now boasts an impressive 1m followers on Instagram.
She also made her acting debut in the indie film The Beautiful Summer this year.
And she is now set to star in the upcoming Netflix series The Leopard, based on the classic novel of the same name by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.
Filming began earlier this year, with production on the lavish period piece to take place in the Sicilian cities of Palermo, Syracuse and Catania as well as the Italian capital over the next few months.
The historical series with elements likeable to Downton Abbey and The Crown is a modern take on the Sicilian saga famously adapted into a film by Luchino Visconti starring Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster.
The film, now an Italian cinema classic, won the 1963 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Deva will star as Angelica Sedara, the young stunning middle class woman who becomes a catalyst of social disruption in the six-episode epic set against the backdrop of social revolution in 1860s Sicily.
Deva’s parents Monica and Vincent split in 2013 after 14 years of marriage and the pair share daughters Deva, 19, and Leonie, 13.

Sweet: Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton made their first red carpet appearance since confirming their romance in October
Former Bond Girl Monica, 59, is now famously dating director Tim Burton – after announcing their romance in June.
She was previously married to Oceans 12 actor Vincent Cassel from 1997 to 2013.
The former model met Cassel in 1996 on the set of Gilles Mimouni’s film l’Appartement.
They were together for three years before marrying in a quiet ceremony in Monaco, on the French Riviera.
Monica spoke about love in an interview with Paris Match back in 2011 when she was still married to Cassel, admitting there is ‘no rationality’ for her when it comes to relationships.
She said: ‘I am carried by the moment and instinct. No rationality, only emotions. You love or you don’t.’
‘You don’t decide sitting around a table: OK, so I have two kids, 16 years of life as a couple, that would be nice if it lasts, but how I am going to make it work?
‘I don’t think at all that a couple is something “you work out”, as we say.’
