Liu Wen is Chinese, 5'10," and an aspiring teacher who also happened to walk the runways in the fashion shows of top designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang, Chloe, Lanvin, and Anna Sui. This 21 year old Chinese supermodel actually looks her age, unlike many unbelievably prepubescent-looking Chinese models. Below, she is rocking her complicated metal lingerie for Victoria's Secret notwithstanding the tackiness of the sheet metal design or the failed attempt by VS to produce alluring futuristic underthings.
She definitely looks better in the latter photos compared to her VS runway show. I think she looks to "regular" in the VS show - nothing special but in the editorial below, she looks more like a model.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The all-natural-girl-next-door look does not work as well for Liu Wen. I'm surprised that VS never hired Asian models for their other fashion shows.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised too! There are so many gorgeous Asian models out there who would be perfect for VS. Maybe it's because VS hires uber tan models and most Asian models (or even most Asian women) don't really want to tan or look "orange".
ReplyDeletewow. first asian model at vs ever?! well, good for her, she's gorgeous!
