Model Talk feat. Liu Wen

'Tis the season to celebrate the becoming of Asian models, like Liu Wen. This girl is like, THE BOMB. Being Asian myself, you'll be able to sense the pride in this post, have fun! 

Born 27 January, 1988, this 24 year old model made it into the elite model clan a.k.a Victoria's Secret. She was the first model of Asian descent to strut the runways of the VS show in 2009, again in 2010 & again in 2011. Originating from Yongzhou, China, she led a comfortable lifestyle where she was steered into modeling by her mother. 

Upon discovery at the New Silk Road World Model Contest, she landed the cover of Chinese FHM even though she didn't win!

However, what caught the eye of the international fashion industry was her editorial shot with Cosmopolitan, where she donned Karl Lagerfeld, and Viktor and Rolf pieces.
